Avoid negative thinking. What you focus on the most will become larger. For example, if you focus on a negative situation in your life, it will seem larger, which can cause anxiety and depression. Instead learn to focus on the good things in your life. 

I’m sure you’ve heard this one before … Get enough sleep! A lack of sleep, less than 7 hours, decreases blood flow to the brain. I personally need at least 8 hours to perform at my best. If possible, a sleeping schedule between 10:30 PM and 7:30 AM is best.  If you have trouble getting to sleep at night due to a stressful day, try spending a half hour or so before bedtime doing something relaxing. Reading tends to relax me. And one thing that really helps me is to pray in bed. Not only is it a great time to spend with God, because there are no distractions, but it is also a great de-stressor.

Here’s a list of simple things you can start doing today to improve your brain and memory. I encourage you to start now… Don’t put it off.

Avoid toxins such as alcohol, excessive caffeine, nicotine, and environmental toxins where possible. These toxins ruin brain function – sometimes permanently.

Eat to fuel the brain everyday. Here is a list of foods that you should be eating at least every week. In some cases everyday, such as blueberries. When possible eat organic foods.

·          Blueberries and other berries

·          Broccoli

·          Beans (lentils, lima, navy, pinto, sugar snap peas, and peas)

·          Wild salmon (always ask when eating in restaurants if the salmon is wild caught – most restaurants serve farm raised)

·          Spinach

·          Green tea (other teas are okay too)

·          Tomatoes

·          Turkey or chicken

·          Walnuts

·          Yogurt

·          Drink a lot of water (the brain is 80% water)

Take a multiple vitamin everyday (preferably a whole food vitamin)

Avoid watching toxic movies and TV programs. Watching negative programming can have a negative effect on your brain function. When you are watching these programs you are learning something new, which means your brain, is making new connections. Think about it, when you watch something scary or depressing on TV, how does it affect you? For the most part I have even stopped watching the news unless I feel the program is truly educating me on something that will make my life and thinking better.

Exercise at least 3 to 4 times a week. Exercise enhances blood flow to the brain and protects brain cells.

Spend time in prayer and meditating on God’s Word. It will distress your brain, which will protect your brain cells, since stress kills cells.
