Physical and mental activities throughout the day can tire the body and mind. Evenings are when the body and mind need to slow down gradually and go into a restful state. This transition is important for maintaining the body’s natural rhythms (circadian rhythm) and for brain health.
Sleep recharges the brain and restores it to optimal levels. 7-9 hours of quality sleep improves cognitive function and brain health.
Deep breathing, artistic activities and reading help to reduce anxiety, assimilate thoughts and memories and calm the mind.
Blue light from screens suppresses melatonin, a hormone that regulates the sleep-wake cycle. Disconnecting from devices promotes a healthy circadian cycle and prevents brain ageing.
Nutrient-rich, balanced meals including omega-3 fatty acids are a brain-health booster. Stay away from junk food.
Journaling is a powerful tool that activates brain regions associated with reward and emotions. It improves memory, logical thinking and emotional regulation.
