Get out in nature. 2 hours of hiking improves cognitive function, reduces stress and boosts creativity.

Engage in rigorous brain training. Video games are too joyous to enhance cognition or intelligence. The more challenging the task the more likely it is to improve cognition. Read hard books with new vocabulary.

Stop relying on machines for basic brain function. Avoid calculators, GPS and spell checks. Mental math and navigation enhance problem solving skills.

Learn until you reach mastery, then start a new skill. Consider learning languages or musical instruments.

Reject pornography and social media.

Embrace social interaction. Listen to other perspectives.

Get out of your comfort zone. Routines reduce brain function. Try new jobs, travel, make connections.

Do cardio. Get the blood flowing to the brain. 30 minutes of exercise boost memory, information processing, neuroplasticity and neurotransmission.

Eat healthy. Protein, healthy fats, fruits and vegetables are essential. Omega 3 fatty acids in salmon, walnuts, tuna etc.. are known to enhance information processing.

Get deep sleep. Neurotransmission is regenerated with proper sleep.

Learn to relax. Though stress boosts strength and adrenaline, embracing relaxation is necessary for symbiosis. Meditate, breathe consciously.

Get daily vitamin D. 30+ minutes of sun exposure help cognitive processing and function.

Stop drinking and smoking. It's poison to the brain.

The earlier you change your habits the better your brain health will be. Strive to reach your potential.

God bless. 🙏🏻
