Grey Matters

March is Brain Health Awareness month so let’s this give this critical organ the respect it deserves by better understanding its role in our personal health and wellness.
Renowned neurosurgeon, Dr. Sanjay Gupta shared valuable tips on how to protect the ever important “grey matter” as we age. There’s no time like the present to make sure we’re doing our best to keep it stimulated, energized and replenished so be sure to make Dr. Gupta’s suggestions part or your daily routine.  Your body and mind will thank you!

  1. Considérez l'inactivité comme une maladie ! Chaque fois que vous vous asseyez, demandez-vous si vous pouvez le faire en restant debout ou en marchant. explique le Dr Gupta. "En termes de bienfaits du mouvement sur le cerveau, cela peut aller plus loin que d'aller à la gym. Ajoutez de l'activité à votre journée pour aider à prévenir cette maladie ! Pourquoi ne pas prendre vos bâtons et faire une promenade à l'heure du déjeuner ?

  2. Soyez toujours prêts à vous entraîner. Nous avons besoin de 150 minutes d'exercice par semaine ! L'exercice contribue à augmenter le flux sanguin vers le cerveau, à réduire l'inflammation et à promouvoir la croissance de nouvelles cellules cérébrales. Gardez vos bâtons à portée de main afin d'être prêt à pratiquer une activité physique chaque fois que vous le pouvez.

  3. Walk, talk, gripe. Dr. Gupta recommends a brisk walk with friends to talk about your problems! He calls it the brain trifecta: moving, socializing, and releasing stress. “Doing those three things ends up measurably detoxifying your brain,” Dr. Gupta says. Poling is a great way to combine all three.

  4. Faites le plein d'énergie ! Le Dr Gupta énumère quelques aliments excellents pour donner de l'énergie à votre cerveau et contrôler votre taux de sucre dans le sang.

  5. Mangez de vrais aliments ! Le Dr Gupta nous encourage à éviter les suppléments et à puiser nos nutriments dans des aliments sains. 

  6. Drink instead of eating. We often confuse hunger for thirst. “Even moderate amounts of dehydration can sap your energy and your brain rhythm.” After all, your brain is primarily made of water, and just 2% dehydration has a measurable impact on memory, processing speed, and analytical thinking.

  7. Make time for your friends. Social activity is fundamental for a healthy brain!

  8. Try the bubble method-separating a problem at hand by putting it in a” bubble” in your mind to develop hyper focus. Dr. Gupta practices analytical meditation, a technique he learned from the Dalai Lama himself.

  9. For lasting brain health, maintain ikigai. Ikigai is a Japanese word meaning “your reason for being”; it’s used a lot in Okinawa, where dementia rates are low. “There’s power in forging a sense of purpose” says Dr. Gupta.

We hope that these quick and easy healthy brain tips will make adding them to your daily routine
a “no brainer”! Our poles are always ready when you are!
