Part 2: Brain Health
Longevity
 
Are long term issues with your brain something you’re concerned about?
 
Maybe, maybe not. It’s sometimes hard to think about something so far away when there are so many more pressing issues that take our energy now.
 
We get it.
 
BUT starting early is so important. It’s one of those things you won’t regret starting early AND there are things you can do that will help you feel BETTER in other areas of your life, too, or might even be fun, like puzzles.
 
Last week we talked about focus - that is a bit more pressing so might be the best place to start. You can check it out HERE
 
Let’s talk LONGEVITY this week.
 
Here are 3 things you can begin TODAY to help with longevity. (Then scroll down to find a supplement we all LOVE for our brain):
 
  1. Deeper Sleep: We have a system in the brain that flushes out toxins (glymphatic system) but it only works when you are in deep sleep. Ideally, we want to cycle in and out of deep sleep 4-6 times a night. If you have a fitness watch that tracks sleep, check it out. We need to keep these toxins flushed to keep our brain healthy.
  2. Clean out the toxins in your home: We are exposed whether we want to be or not. It’s a way of modern life. BUT you can reduce as much as you have the ability to - and it doesn’t have to be hard! Young Living’s Thieves Household Cleaner is a simply swap out for most of your household cleaners. (Oh, and it’s CHEAPER!)
  3. RELAX: And I mean truly, deeply, relax. Stress has an adverse effect on all the systems of the body. Take care of your stress not just for your brain but for your heart, mental health, immunity, endocrine system, you name it! (Oh, and you’ll sleep better, too!)

Did you miss the link to last week's email about Brain Health Part 1: Focus? No worries. You can find it HERE. Our “Resources” email is also worth repeating. It was chock full of info and some freebies we have for you at SIMPLY :: the wellness place. Check it out HERE.

We shared this stretch in Email #73 and we wanted to make sure you saw it because it is a way to take care of your brain that's FUN: puzzles!
 
“Brain exercises” are a great way to keep your brain sharper. Did you know the NY Times has fun puzzles they release each day? (Besides Wordle…) You can access more via the subscription but get one each day for free.
 
Try each one to find the ones you enjoy: 
Of course, Wordle
 
And, one more (Laura’s favorite)…
Countryle  ~ You guess the country based on hints - sort of like “hotter-colder”.
 
FYI…maybe this is "oversharing" but Denae uses her time in the “biffy” as her brain exercise time. She saves that “special time” for brain games! (FYI2, if you are thinking “Laura must have shared that. It's something only a sister would know and reveal", you'd be wrong! It's from Denae!)
