3 Easy Ways to Improve your brain

Do you want to know 3 ways to improve your brain easily?

Who wouldn’t want to improve their brain in any way possible if they could.  There are many ways that you can have better brain function. In this article, I would like to concentrate on your brain and 3 easy ways to help your brain out.

Many people are having issues related to and stemming from their brains these days. Your brain is connected to your nervous system, and together, this is the Master System in your body. It controls and coordinates ALL functions in your body. If your brain is not functioning properly or is imbalanced, it can have devastating effects on your body and health. The same can be said for your nervous system. Without further delay, here are the 3 easy ways to improve your brain.

Brain Hack #1 For Improvement

walk in nature to improve brain  The first thing you can do to help your brain is to get out in nature. It is shown we spend 86% of our time indoors and another 6% of our time in enclosed vehicles. That is a lot of our time! Getting out into nature helps reduce inflammation. Inflammation can hinder your brain’s ability to have good decision-making skills. So just by getting out in nature, you can help reduce inflammation and increase your good decision-making skills! It appears that the way this might be happening is by reducing stress. We know that chronic stress leads to inflammation if it is not addressed. We also know that our modern lifestyle is often shown to be much more stressful than the lives of our ancestors. We need to give our brains a break and this is a good option.

So, how can you do this? You might not live by a park, you might be in the middle of a big city, you might think you don’t have time, etc. Well, to start, ANY time in nature is better than none! So, start with what you can. You do not need to visit a park to make it worthwhile. Anywhere outside will do. Instead of driving or taking the bus for a few blocks, walk to your destination. If you are getting outside and want to take things a step further, you can bring some outside in via houseplants.

Brain Hack #2 For Improvement

take a break from technologyThe second thing you can do is to detox from technology. The average American is spending about 12 hours per day looking at screens! What are people missing out on because they are in front of screens so much? It is likely things like time in nature, spending quality time with family and friends, exercising, developing connections, and other things that are beneficial to our lives. People feel that we are all connected through things like social media, but this is not a true connection and people are lonelier now than ever before. In addition to this, studies have shown that spending too much time on social media actually changes the structure of the brain!

We know that everybody cannot just get rid of all their technology. However, you can choose to reduce your screen time as well as make the choice to use technology in a conscious way. Here are three ways:

  1. Reduce Blue Light- One good habit to get into is no screens at night. The blue light emitted from the screens is detrimental to your health and sleep.
  2. Mindful Eating- Another is eating dinner without screens. This impairs your body’s ability to digest food properly and takes away the mindfulness involved.
  3. Screen Break- A third is to take a break from your phone and screens. Set a time frame when you will not use your phone, even if you get a call or text.

A good time to do this would be dinner. Instead, talk to your family or friends and enjoy your meal. Sometimes it is easier if you leave your phone in another room so you are not tempted to use it. You can also set times where you may not want the phone in another room the whole time, but maybe you turn off notifications or turn your phone on silent for a bit.

Brain Hack #3 For Improvement

brain foodThe last thing you can do is to be conscious of what you eat and make healthy choices! The foods you choose to eat are going to affect your ability to make good choices as well as how you see the world. The foods you eat precisely impact your brain. When you eat inflammatory foods, it directly challenges your brain’s ability to make good decisions. One of the things that change the way the brain is wired is our food choices. Pay attention to how you feel after you eat different foods and then you can make modifications when necessary.

Summary of 3 Easy Ways To Improve Your Brain

These are 3 easy things you can do today to impact your brain. Make sure you connect with nature. Take a break from your devices. Be conscious of what you eat and eat foods that support your brain.

If you feel your brain is off, you may want to consider neurofeedback. Neurofeedback is a natural, drug-free method of balancing the brain and encouraging the proper neural pathways. Neurofeedback can help with things like insomnia, chronic fatigue, depression, anxiety, ADD/ADHD, learning disorders, and more! Check out our article on What Is Neurofeedback?
