Anti-Age Your Brain...

If longevity, brain power and a vibrant life are your priorities, todays article is most certainly for you.

1. How to Make Your 'Brain' 5 to 10 Years Younger:

Let’s start with a brain boost.

Did you know that the pre-frontal cortex - responsible for attention, planning, and scheduling - thins as we age?

But don't worry; there's good news!

Research shows that meditation can help preserve the thickness of the pre-frontal cortex even as we age.

• Fascinating Fact: A study found that people who have been meditating for 20 years had brains that were, on average, 7.5 years younger than non-meditators.
• Quick Fix: You don't need to live in a cave or spend your life in the gym. Just 30 minutes of strength training three times a week can improve the gray matter in your brain.

2.5 hours a week to feel 5 to 10 years younger? That’s a steal -right!?

2. Symptoms of Low Vitamin D:

With autumn upon us, it’s crucial to pay attention to our Vitamin D intake.

This vitamin is essential for our wellbeing, health and cognitive function.

Not getting enough can affect mood, mental clarity, and energy levels.

Signs of Vitamin D Deficiency:

• Irritability...
• Fatigue...
• Pale or blotchy skin...
• Poor sleep...
• Regular illness and sickness...
• Bone pain or aching...
• Depression, anxiety or sadness...
• Hair loss...
• Muscle weakness...
• Poor appetite...

Keep an eye on these symptoms - they could save your brain and body.

• Best Source: Get outside! Even if it’s cloudy, you’re still absorbing some sunlight.
• Supplements: If you need supplements, pair Vitamin D with magnesium L-threonate to increase absorption.

The best way to know your vitamin D levels?

Get bloodwork done.

3. Twenty First Century Problems:

Let's talk about a modern issue: "problem creep."

According to psychologists at Harvard, as our lives improve, we don’t get more satisfied - we just lower our standards for what counts as a problem!

• The Issue: Known as "prevalence induced concept change," it means we create problems out of trivial things because we’re no longer fighting for survival! No sabre tooth tigers out there these days!
• Common Examples: Standing in line at the supermarket, train station, traffic on the motorway, the waitress not smiling!

"Gratitude turns what we have into enough." - Aesop

The Solution:

• Zoom Out: Compare our lives to those of our parents in the 1950s, 60's and '70s.
• Practice The Art Of Gratitude: Strive to be thankful for the simple things - those we often take for granted on a daily basis.
• Mindful Action: Recognise that most problems are ones we create in our minds, then adjust your perspective accordingly, and quickly!
