5 Ways To Boost Your Brain Power

What are the simple steps that we can take to optimise our brain health each day?

In the latest FBLM podcast, neuroscientist and brain surgeon,Dr Rahul Jandial talks me through how we can all optimise our brain health in a normal day, from when we wake to before we go to bed - intermittent fasting, breathing, exercise, following a Mediterranean diet and challenging our brains with reading, puzzles and learning.

Do you do any of these things in normal day? Are you inspired to try and do more?

For vegans - for anyone who doesn't want to eat fish or animals you could have walnuts or vegan supplements for omega-3's

How do you exercise when fasting for 16 hours ? Do you need to exercise post the fast ? Im concerned I would get light headed when swimming, walking or a gym workout . Any tips on this?

Ayurveda says IF is great, but skipping dinner a couple of times a week rather than breakfast is better.

Think the arguments for veganism are more spurious than he lets on. There are lots of components in meat that support brain health Beyond omega 3s. B vitamins, carnitine, creatine, cholesterol are only really found in meat and when they are lacking in the diet it has been shown that it can be quite deleterious. I would be a bit more hesitant to recommend veganism for brain health. Regardless I loved the interview, certainly inspired me to use gps/satnav less. Cheers!
