According to experts, to have a lively and healthy brain, you should regularly apply certain habits in the mornings.
Medianews.az reports that regardless of your age, your daily habits significantly affect your brain’s function. It is necessary to take action for a healthy and strong brain both in youth and old age.
There are 5 simple and main factors to consider for a strong mind:
Drink a glass of water: Water is essential for your body and brain to function optimally. Drinking a glass of water early in the morning helps meet your fluid needs and supports brain health. Drinking enough water helps prevent fatigue and can improve your short-term memory, attention, and reaction speed throughout the day.
Expose your face to sunlight: Exposure to light and darkness during the day greatly affects the body’s circadian rhythm (internal clock). Going outside into the sun or sitting by a sunny window 30 minutes after waking helps you stay more alert during the day and sleep better at night. Many studies show that morning sunlight exposure improves mood.
Reduce your screen time: Spending much of the day looking at phone and computer screens negatively affects mental health. Therefore, reduce your time in front of screens. Start your day by face-to-face conversations with people, calling them, or going for a walk with a friend. This also reduces loneliness, which causes cognitive decline.
Get moving: Exercise has profound effects on the brain. Starting the day with simple physical activity improves cognitive function throughout the day. Studies show that physical activity protects cognitive health both during the day and later in life.
Have breakfast: A nutritious breakfast balances blood sugar and provides energy throughout the day. This means limiting sugary products, pastries, and drinks that can negatively affect your brain health. (Axşam.az)
