Fruits and vegetables are the first thing that comes to mind when we think of a brain healthy diet, but don’t discount the value of high-quality protein! A recent SDSU study found that including red meat in a high-quality diet supports brain health.

The moral of the story: don’t skip your protein. Which is great news when your state is basically a steakhouse 🥩!!!

Do we have to lose our memory as we age? Nope.

More than 1/3 of people age 50-80 feel lonely…that’s hard on the brain. Getting together and socializing is one of the best things you can do for your brain!!!

PLEASE comment or SHARE if this happens to you!!!!

Is this just me... or does this happen to anyone else?😅

Lately, I've started saying the action out loud as I'm doing it. "I am unplugging the curling iron". And honestly - it works.

This is an example of using an external cue to support memory. By saying it out loud, I'm not rushing through the action...I'm being intentional. It forces my brain to register "Yep, this is done." No more second-guessing myself later.

It's a small shift, but makes a big difference for me, especially on days when I'm especially busy or distracted.

Try it out and let us know if it helps you too!

THIS billboard…..yep, thinking is hard.

AI is great at times, but when we no longer struggle, problem solve, initiate or think critically, how does that increase our future risk of dementia??

The more we outsource thinking, the less we use skills that grow our brains to protect our future selves from dementia. Use it or lose it friends….so don’t just do what you’re told!!!

Minds Matter is like "physical therapy for the brain." You would never have knee surgery and not see physical therapy afterwards. Yet we have concussions, illnesses, heart attacks and do no cognitive rehab to get our brain back to its prior level.

Just because an MRI or CT scan says you're "normal" doesn't mean that your brain function is normal!!! If you notice increased anxiety, vision changes, slow processing speed and difficulty with school or work, give us a call to see how we can help you!
