THE BRAIN FOG FIX WITH DR. MIKE DOW

Do you find yourself being forgetful or distracted throughout the day? Is stress stopping you from enjoying life? Or do you just not feel quite like yourself? There are millions of Americans fighting this epidemic of brain fog. Fortunately, with simple changes to your diet and lifestyle, you can reclaim your clarity and energy! Dr. Mike Dow, psychotherapist and best-selling author of The Brain Fog Fix, will show you how to easily integrate new brain-healthy habits into your everyday life with tips such as:

Do something challenging today. Think of your brain like a bank account. Every time you learn something new, play a challenging game, or read a book, you’re depositing a dollar into that account. The more cash deposits you’ve made, the more you have to spare. This is a concept called reserve, and it explains why people with higher levels of education have a lower risk of dementia. Make a “deposit” by engaging in a challenging activity. When it comes to the brain, it’s use it or lose it.

Easy-to-make recipes and supplements with brain-boosting ingredients: Food rich in antioxidants, like nuts, berries and even coffee and tea can be easily added to any meal. Natrol Cognium brain health supplement has also been shown to protect brain cells from oxidative stress, improve memory, and increase blood flow to the brain. Taking this supplement while engaging in novel and challenging activities can help you reap the benefits of a holistic and synergistic approach to brain health. It is also the only brain health supplement with an ingredient proven effective and backed by nine human clinical trials.

Incorporate more exercise in your day. Exercise is one of the most potent ways to increase neurogenesis, the birth of new brain cells and connections, in the brain. It’s as good for your brain as it is for your heart.

Create healthy rituals. The more you make choices that are good for you, the easier they become to do. If a post-work jog is followed by a protein shake, this becomes routine while helping to prevent unhealthy behaviors. You can even pair simple acts like brushing your teeth in the morning with taking Natrol Cognium with your multivitamin. This can help you to set a healthful intention for the day ahead of you.

Connect. Relationships have a profound effect on brain health. Remember that excess stress hormones can cause inflammation in the brain just like processed foods do. Relationships tend to buffer us from the stress of daily life while giving our lives meaning. Mind the health of your relationships, because they’re fantastic for the brain.

Sleep. Favor natural remedies like keeping your bedtime consistent and using melatonin instead of over the prescription sleep aids that have become increasingly problematic. At night, brain cells expand so that our brain can enter into its wash cycle at night
