I adopted the hobbies of solving difficult math problems, reading science books, reading different religious scriptures and learning foreign languages.

These above activities helped me to discover a link between the human intellect and morality.

I also practice meditation, prayer, chanting, strength training and endurance training.

This gives me a degree of internal peace no matter what's going on around me.

I set aside time daily to do studies on things which I find interesting. I don’t allow myself to be distracted by anything. Even when things seem complicated and stressful, this time to take in knowledge apart from all other tasks, grounds and calms me.😊

🎯 Key points for quick navigation:

00:00 *🧠 Brain Structure and Function*
- The brain is 75% water, which is vital for its structure and function.
- Proper hydration supports concentration, mood balance, and memory.
- Dehydration can have negative effects on cognitive functions.
02:18 *🧠 Multitasking Myth*
- Multitasking is task-switching, not doing multiple tasks simultaneously.
- Task-switching increases error rates and takes longer to complete tasks.
- Focusing on one task at a time improves cognitive performance.
03:13 *🧠 Brain Pain Perception*
- The brain itself does not feel pain.
- Headaches and migraines arise from surrounding structures, not the brain tissue.
- Understanding brain pain perception can help manage headaches.
04:35 *🧠 Neuroplasticity and Brain Changes*
- The brain is adaptable and can change throughout life (neuroplasticity).
- Engaging in lifelong learning, cognitive activities, and social interactions can stimulate neuroplasticity.
- Activities like reading, cognitive training, and socializing can improve cognitive function.
08:12 *🧠 Physical Exercise for Brain Health*
- Regular physical movement benefits brain health by enhancing blood flow and reducing inflammation.
- Aerobic exercises, mind-body exercises, and outdoor activities promote brain health.
- Different types of physical exercise can improve cognitive function, memory, and mood.

That's why I love walking 18 holes of golf. Must stay hydrated, physically, and mentally stimulating for about 3 hours per round . I see the best 🌅 sunrises because tee times are at daybreak. There's wildlife and sunshine. It's basically an all in one great investment in myself every week and a great overall blessing 🙏.

Since listening to your videos, I have been more consistent with better hydration and I avoid multi tasking too. Which is a big change for me cause I used to pride myself at how many tasks I could do at the same time. I'm happier and less stressed focusing on one task at a time, and set my timer fir periodic breaks too.
Thank you for presenting such helpful information that is medically backed and easy to understand.

Jim! I love you man! Thank you for sharing your love and appreciation of The One, The Only, The Brain

It’s interesting about hydration, as I was working my way by diet to decrease and then finally get off my meds for diabetes. I noticed that I was drinking a lot more than I am now that I am off all medicine and quite close to being not even prediabetic.I also want to understand if the sodas, etc., available sometimes in school schools are hydrating or not. And how we build proper hydration into our educational facilities.

In 1997 I had brains surgery and the doctor during surgery touched a nerve during the operation and my life turned around ever since and it’s been hard for me to focus in task and school
