A Healthy Brain Keeps You Younger

Everyone knows how a little exercise is good for you. Whether you are a focused gym bunny or just someone who takes the stairs over the elevator, exercise is good for you. Exercise keeps you fit, healthy and young but mentally you need to be healthy too and good brain health is a vital part of keeping and feeling younger. But how do you keep your brain young?
Keep up the exercise. If you already know that keeping physically fit is good for you then keep it up. Physical exercise is not just good for the heart and muscles it also keeps the brain healthy. As you exercise your brain produces healthy proteins that trigger the brain cells to work better with improved communication. A physical work out of just 20 minutes a day keeps your brain working and alive to help keep you feeling much younger.

Healthy Diet. A healthy diet keeps you looking fit and trim but a healthy diet also helps your brain. Foods that are high in Omega Fatty Acids such as fish are excellent for brain health. Memory and general brain performance have been shown to improve considerably with higher intakes of Omega-12 fatty acids, in those with ADHD improved focus has been noted and when taking exams, for example, accessing memorised information has been easier. Drinking plenty of water every day and cutting down on sugar and caffeine have all proven to keep a brain young and healthy and in turn, the have lead to a variety of general health benefits.
​

Control that Stress. ​Stress is one of the biggest causes of heart disease and death in the world today. The brain also suffers when a person experiences sustained stress levels. Taking time out to switch off from all stress helps keep the brain healthy and is also a good way to remain young inside. Yoga and meditation, or even just a walk outside with no distractions are proven ways to improve brain health simply because they slow things down.

Keep Learning: By far the best way to keep your brain healthy and at the same time keep you alive and feeling young is to keep on learning. The brain is designed to be taxed by learning new things. Learning stimulates the core functions of the brain, brain exercise if you like and can produce new brain cell growth as well as slow down brain cell deterioration. Learning a new language is one of the best ways to stimulate your brain and use the functionality of the brain to its full. Learning keeps you mentally alert and by remaining mentally alert and alive you automatically feel healthier and have a certain Joie de vivre that makes others see you and experience you as younger.

Look after yourself and look after your brain and you will look and feel younger. By feeling younger you will have more energy, sleep better and as studies show… live longer!
