5 easy ways to nourish your brain

By: Brandpoint

(BPT) - What are you doing to nourish your brain on a daily basis? Many people eat a balanced diet and work out to nourish and support their bodies and their overall health, but it's just as important to support the brain. It can lead to greater mental focus, a longer attention span, sharper memory, greater mental energy, and can even enhance your mood and mental health. And it couldn't be more important.

Why? It's because the brain is the epicenter of, well, everything. It's about experiences, memories, attention span and so much more. Nurturing the brain isn't just about delaying cognitive decline or aging - it's about embracing life to the fullest. A healthy brain means meaningful activities, deep relationships, engrossing passion. There is a profound impact of brain health in every aspect of the human journey. Cognitive vitality and unlocking the potential of each moment resonates with everyone. When the brain thrives, so does daily life.

Whether you're a young professional looking to optimize your cognitive performance, an older adult focused on maintaining mental clarity and memory, or a kid just trying to get through final exams, it's wise to boost your brain. The good news? It's easy to do. Here are some ways to give your brain some love.

Eat right. There are many reasons to eat a balanced diet of fruits, veggies, whole grains and lean meats, and brain health is high on that list. Eating foods packed with antioxidants and other nutrients is great for your brain. Omega-3 fatty acids also play a crucial role, and can be found in fatty fish, nuts and seeds.

Get your Cognizin Citicoline on. What's that? Citicoline is a naturally occurring brain chemical that has neuroprotective properties. In other words, it helps protect and repair brain cells and supports focus and memory. Cognizin® Citicoline is one of the most comprehensive brain ingredients on the market. An innovative form of Citicoline, which has been clinically researched for its role in cognitive function, Cognizin® is a clinically studied nootropic to support mental energy, memory, focus and attention. Many other cognitive health ingredients only enhance brain performance, but Cognizin® provides brain performance as well as brain health support over time. This brain health nutrient has demonstrated through multiple clinical trials that it provides essential brain health benefits to people of all ages.

Exercise. When you exercise, you're not just burning calories. You're increasing blood flow to the brain, which can improve cognitive function. How much exercise does the trick? Thirty minutes of moderate exercise on most days is a good guideline. And hey, all of that good food and exercise will help your body, too.

Focus on sleep. A recent study by Johns Hopkins Medicine revealed what many of us already knew - sleep is vital to brain health. If you've ever slogged through the day after a bad night's sleep, you know how groggy and "off" you feel. But this study showed that sleep is an integral part of "brain plasticity," or the brain's ability to adapt to input. After a bad night's sleep, we actually have trouble processing anything we learned the next day and have trouble remembering it in the future. Can't remember what you had for lunch yesterday? A bad night's sleep could be the culprit.

Challenge your brain daily. Love Wordle? How about a crossword puzzle or other type of brain teaser? Doing them is like a workout for your brain, and helps keep you sharp.

It's easy to check off a good diet, sleep, exercise and puzzles each day. What about Cognizin? It's actually in more products than you might realize, from beverages you see regularly at the grocery store to supplements to protein bars, even lollipops! There are currently 200+ products out there right now that contain Cognizin. Visit Cognizin.com/en/buy-cognizin to get started.

A few easy lifestyle changes can show the love to your brain every day. It'll love you back, guaranteed.
