54. Understanding the Importance of Brain Health


Listen Later

Keeping our brain healthy throughout life is super important for staying well and living a long, happy life. As people get older, there's a higher chance of facing challenges that affect the brain, like memory problems or other issues. So, it's crucial to take care of our brain because it influences so many things. Just like we eat good food and exercise to keep our bodies strong, we need to do things that make our brains happy and healthy too. When we take care of our brains, especially as we get older, we're giving ourselves the best chance to enjoy a strong, healthy mind that is resilient to the pressures of life. 

In this episode Dr. Barb covers:

  • The significance of brain health
  • Nutrition for the brain
  • How physical activity affects the brain
  • Why we need mental stimulation for the brain
  • How sleep impacts our brain function
  • Why we must limit harmful substances to protect the brain
