4 EVERYDAY WAYS
TO KEEP YOUR
BRAIN SHARP
Family Features
Staying in
shape goes
beyond
physical fitness
- keeping your
brain health top
of mind is crucial
for your overall
well-being, too.
To sharpen your
mind, consider
these everyday ways for prioritizing brain health.
Stimulate Your Mind
While “exercising” typically refers to running, walking
or biking, remember you can give your brain a workout
as well. Provide a boost for your brain with easy and
enjoyable activities like reading, puzzles, math games
like sudoku or artistic challenges such as drawing or
crafting.
Eat Healthy Foods
Establishing a strong foundation for brain health can
start in the kitchen by preparing healthy foods. Adding
whole grains, fish, legumes, healthy fats and fruits and
vegetables, including grapes and leafy greens, can encourage
better brain wellness.
Prioritize Mental Health
Reducing anxiety may be easier said than done, but it
starts with healthy everyday habits. Practice mindfulness
by meditating or simply turning off distractions
like social media. Get outside for fresh air or find a
hobby you enjoy. Join a support group, reach out to
loved ones and, if you feel you’re experiencing negative
mental health systems, talk with a mental health professional.
Exercise Regularly
Physical activities that increase your heart rate also
increase blood flow to the brain and throughout your
body. It doesn’t have to be rigorous or strenuous - go for
a walk around the neighborhood, dance in the living
room, tend to your garden or enjoy a bike ride when
the weather cooperates. Remember to replenish your
energy and hydration - California grapes are an easy
way to deliver both.
