Everyone is interested in staying young, energetic and healthy for a long time. What should we do to achieve this? Let’s look at some recommendations.
You need to rest more
Never skimp on rest. Normal sleep increases intelligence. The latest research has shown that at night the brain collects pieces of information and, like puzzles, puts them together to form a picture. If you cut back on its hours, it will “thank you” with mood swings and a slow work pace. A new approach to this is meditation. Those who regularly do this have a high level of gamma oscillations in their brain. And this is attentiveness, memory and the ability to absorb new knowledge. Just imagine what horizons open up!
Eat apples more often
Apples contain many antioxidants that protect brain cells from the effects of free radicals. But the main thing is that apples “feed” the mediator responsible for memory (the same acetylcholine), which becomes less and less with age. A new approach is the use of Omega-3. Fatty acids have been scientifically proven to protect neurons from damage. A healthy mind and bright memory love salmon, halibut and sardines.
Communicate more
Hugs, pats and other expressions of sympathy are pleasant for the brain at any age. Communication also affects its health, as it reduces the level of cortisol, the stress hormone. Maintain strong ties with family and friends. A new approach is dancing. Dancing with a partner, especially performing such complex steps as tango, rumba or salsa, you provide your brain with triple protection: social communication, mental exercise and physical exercise. Don’t like dancing? Go shopping. All the benefits are preserved. In the mall, you chat, calculate what is more profitable to buy, and walk a lot, without even suspecting that you are doing a great workout for your body.
