Stop watching porn
Porn impacts the brain like a drug by triggering large amounts of dopamine.
Over time your brain builds a tolerance & requires more extreme content to achieve the same level of pleasure.
Take back control of your mind by eliminating porn from your life.
Meditate daily
Meditation improves 3 areas of your brain:
Pre frontal cortex - Responsible for decision making Amygdala - Responsible for emotional response Hippocampus - Responsible for memory & learning
As little as 5 minutes a day has been shown to improve all 3 areas.
Avoid alcohol
Alcohol affects the frontal lobes of the brain, making it harder to control emotions & urges while increasing anxiety.
Long term drinking can reduce neurons & could lead to dementia and Alzheimers.
Avoiding alcohol is a net positive for both the body & brain.
Sweat every day
Aerobic exercise like walking or jogging can help your hippocampus grow & stimulates the growth of BDNF.
It also releases chemicals like endorphins & serotonin that improve your mood and mental health.
If you don't exercise you're not as smart as you think.
Fix your sleeping habits
Being awake for 17 hours is akin to having a blood alcohol concentration of 0.05%
Sleep deprivation makes you moody & impairs your memory & decision-making.
Deep sleep removes toxic cellular trash from your brain. Want a better brain? Fix your sleep.
Eat a nutrient dense diet
Eating foods that are high in nutrients helps your brain by protecting it from oxidative stress.
Vitamins, minerals & antioxidants help nourish the brain & protect it from free radicals.
One of the best ways to improve your mood is to fix your diet.
Limit social media
When you're on social media you're walking into a room full of slot machines.
Likes, follows & other notifications activate the brain's reward center by releasing dopamine making it similar to an addictive drug.
Protect your brain by limiting your usage.
Get to a healthy body fat level
Too much visceral fat can lead to reduced cognitive function & an altered brain structure.
Visceral fat is associated with lower gray matter volume & an inactive pre-frontal cortex.
Want a better brain? Get your body fat down to a healthy level.
