We don't need to understand all the biology and chemistry to have brain health.
A few things to start:
1. Be careful what you allow into your brain through your eyes, your ears, your mouth, and your skin.
2. As always, healthy food, exercise and good sleep.
3. Try a little mindfulness, just 5 minutes /day spent quietly noticing what you hear, see, and feel can provide a break from the constant busy ness that has become a way of life.
Thanksgiving Day has so many special aspects that highlight how much we have to be grateful for. You get to pick your focus- family, friends, football, feast, foliage and so much more. It is easy to get swept up in the planning, or to feel sadness if something from the past is no more- Taking a few moments to get quiet, and focus on what is going right can turn that around.
