🧠 5 tips for keeping your brain healthy


Hi Reader,

One of the reasons why I'm so passionate about sharing easy vegan recipes is that by eating more plant-based, you help not only the animals and the environment, but your health as well.

And when it comes to my own health, one of my top concerns is brain health.

Because watching my mom suffer for years from a rare degenerative brain disease and passing away at the young age of 69 is something I think about every day.

Fortunately there are easy and fun steps we can all take to keep our brains healthy:

  1. Improve your diet: According to researchers at Harvard, good nutrition can help your mind as well as your body. And people who follow a plant-based Mediterranean diet are less likely to develop cognitive impairment and dementia. 🥕🍎🥬
  2. Get physical exercise: Physical exercise not only works your heart and muscles, it also improves your brain, according to Harvard researchers. And you don't have to train for a marathon or Ironman to benefit. You can simply go outside and walk, run, or ride your bike. 🚶‍♀️🚴‍♀️
  3. Get mental stimulation: Reading, taking courses, word and math puzzles, and arts and crafts all may help build new brain cells and prevent future loss. Try something new and see what you enjoy. 📚🎨
  4. Get enough sleep and take care of your mental health: And set boundaries for how much time you spend on social media. 😴🧘
