Our 10 Pillars of Brain Health™

By Julia Lundstrom
  1. Eat heart (which are also brain) healthy foods. Sugar and processed foods eat away at your brain cells. Sugar has also been shown to be more addictive than cocaine. Eat foods that stimulate brain cell growth like fish, nuts, lean meat, fruit, and vegetables. Most anything that has a shelf life of more than a few days should be avoided.
  2. Get out and exercise every day. Taking a 15-30 minute walk greatly increases your brain's ability to store and recall more memories. This also increases the oxygen flow to your brain which makes you have more energy and think clearer.
  3. Get good amounts of sleep, 7-9 hours a night. Sleep is the most reparative thing you can do for your brain. Prioritize it like your brain depends on it.
  4. Reduce the amount of stress in your life. Stress directly eats away at healthy brain cells and promotes inflammation in the body and brain. Take a bath, make a list of priorities, and most importantly - take time for yourself. This life is for YOU.
  5. Meditate every day. There are over 1600 studies around the benefits of meditation, especially on the stress chemical cortisol levels, which directly eat away at your memory. Try our Stress Busting Meditation to get you started on your journey.
  6. Take a deep breath. We don’t breathe properly, leaving us constantly having shallow chest breaths. This leads to stress, anxiety, and fatigue. Work on practicing belly breathing, and intentional breathing exercises. Oxygenate your body.
  7. Don’t be afraid to supplement. Get the extra nutrients your brain needs. We recommend MindBoost Day and MindBoost Night for this. Regardless of whether our products are right for you, vitamin B-6 and B-12 are a must for brain health. So are the Omega-3 fatty acids that are in our Alpha Omega DHA.
  8. Challenge yourself to learn something new every day. Continuing to learn grows brain cells which will help fight depression, disease, and memory lapses. Use it, so that you don’t lose it. Defining your purpose. Ask yourself the hard questions - what is my purpose in this life? How can I best serve myself and my dreams? What drives me? Those who have a defined purpose in life have a much richer quality of life than those who do not.
  9. Be social. Call someone, go have lunch with someone or simply send someone a letter. Social people have been found to have healthier brains than people who are anti-social.
  10. Reduce the amount of toxins in your life. Toxins show up as mold in the home, cleaning and beauty products, and so much more.
