SIX WAYS TO BOOST BRAIN FUNCTION

 

1.  EXERCISE

Regular physical activity increases neurogenesis, or the formation of new brain cells in the hippocampus.

Improves memory, increases focus, and sharpens your mind.

 

2. LEARN SOMETHING NEW 

Practising a new skill can increase the density of your myelin, the white matter in your brain that improves your ability to perform tasks.

You'll learn better and faster.

 

3. SOCIALISE

Maintaining connections is key to keeping your mind agile and improving it's cognitive function. This also helps prevent mental decline and lower the risk of dementia.

Reduces stress and makes you feel connected.

 

 4. CHALLENGE YOUR BRAIN

Through games and mental activities, you help to stimulate your brain. Your brain is a muscle and using it pumps more blood to it and builds your cognitive reserve.

Boosts concentration.

 

5. MEDITATE AND RECHARGE

Practicing extended periods of focus helps to declutter the mind. It increases the grey matter in your hippocampus, encouraging positive emotions, longer-lasting emotional stability and heightened focus during daily life.

Alleviates symptoms of anxiety and stress.

 

6. DRINK MATCHA

The antioxidants in matcha keep brain cells healthy. Drinking matcha daily could help protect against neurodegenerative disease, and slow natural brain ageing.

L-Theanine improves cognitive function, boosts focus and stimulates a deep relaxation.
