You’ve gotta nourish to flourish.
Your brain powers everything you do — from memory and focus to movement and mood. Just like the rest of your body, it needs the right fuel and care to perform at its best.
🧠 Key ways to support brain health:
• Eat a nutrient-rich diet (omega-3s, salmon, leafy greens, berries, nuts).
• Stay physically active to improve blood flow and growth of new cells. Aim for a minimum of 30 minutes of intentional exercise daily.
• Prioritise 7–9 hours of quality sleep. Prioritise that wind down routine, improve your sleep hygiene, disconnect from devices an hour before you go to bed and aim to avoid caffeine from 2pm onwards.
• Keep learning and challenging your mind. Cross words, cards, languages, painting, trying new sports or skills. Put yourself out of your comfort zone and try something new!
• Manage stress and stay socially connected. Prioritise connections with friends and set up a regular monthly catch up or a weekly coffee club to stay connected. Get outside and in nature. Join up to a social sports team or regular exercise group.
Looking after your brain today helps protect your health, performance, and independence for the future. It’s never too late to start!
