Healthy Brain Function Requires Healthy Sleep

We’ve been talking about the brain all month! What actions have you started to take to improve brain health and optimize your brain?

Here are my top daily actions I apply to keep my brain and my boys brains functioning optimally.

LOVE YOUR BRAIN

• Healthy fats like avocado, coconut oil, olives, salmon, organ meats, macadamia nuts and walnuts, pure water and sometimes green and macha tea
• Connection and belonging – volunteering, contributing to others in a positive way through our neighborhood, community, etc
• Positive habits – kind thoughts to self and others, honesty/integrity, gratitude
• Regular exercise preferably out doors. Learning some new activity, crossing the midline, blind fold games, improving the sensory and function of all senses.
• Sunshine, fresh air, fresh water, lessening toxic loads from digital/screen time and toxic people, toxins in the form of pollution and food and clothing toxins by buying organic, growing our own where we can, shutting down grid at night.
• Good night sleep and resting with silence and quiet time built in throughout the day. Allowing for natural transitions from work, play, learning and sleep

These are just a few.

To lead a life you love, you have to love yourself and your life enough to set out on a healthy path that nourishes not only your body, but your brain too!
