Brain Health

At every moment of every day, your brain heavily influences how you think, feel, act and interact with others. By avoiding bad brain habits and adopting as many good brain habits as possible, you can improve your brain function. In turn, you may see improvements in your memory, mood and other areas of your life.

Your brain is like a muscle. The more you use it, the stronger it gets. New learning makes new connections in your brain, making you sharper and making your brain more efficient. To keep your brain active, you need to give it a constant stream of new and different challenges. Acquiring new knowledge and new skills encourages brain health.

Physical exercise is like a natural wonder drug for your brain and body. It helps your heart pump life-giving blood into your brain, supplying more oxygen, glucose and other nutrients your brain needs to function at its best.
