5 of the Best Ways to Take Care of Your Brain
Medically Reviewed by Dr. Parris Kidd

Your brain is the most complex machine in the universe.

No one knows exactly how complex the brain is, but some scientists have estimated you have more neurons in your brain than there are stars in the Milky Way Galaxy.

Just like you’d protect a smartphone, tablet, or laptop (which are far less precious), it’s vitally important that you do everything possible to protect the powerful processor between your ears.

There are many practical ways you can safeguard your brain, like wearing a seat belt when you’re in a car and a helmet while riding a bike. Though such tips would seem to be no-brainers, it’s amazing how many people fail to put their brain first as they go about their daily life.

5 of the Best Ways to Take Care of Your Brain

Drink More Water

Every system in the human body needs water to function. Your brain is 80% water,¹ so avoid anything that dehydrates it – such as caffeine or alcohol. Being dehydrated by just 2% may impair performance in tasks that require attention, immediate memory skills, and physical performance.

Get Regular Exercise

Physical activity is perhaps the single most important thing you can do to keep your brain healthy. Exercise can boost blood flow and other positive nutrients to the brain, increase your levels of dopamine and generate new brain cells that can help the brain self-regulate and calm down. Walking can help you clear your mind, decrease feelings of anxiousness, improve your mood,² and burn some calories all at the same time.

Eat a Healthy Diet

Proper nutrition is essential to peak brain function. A healthy diet should include lean protein, fruits, vegetables, nuts, and healthy fats such as olive oil. It’s recommended that you eat 9 servings of fruits and vegetables every day. To help with your meal planning, there are many healthy and delicious recipes in The Brain Warrior’s Way Cookbook.

Quality Sleep

Getting at least 7 hours of sleep a night³ has been shown to help your brain function at optimal levels. When you don’t get enough sleep, you have overall decreased blood flow to your brain, which can disrupt thinking, memory, and concentration.

Just Relax

From time to time, all of us need to recharge our batteries and self-care is key to physical and mental health. Learning how to counteract stress and calm your body can help your brain work better, put you in a better mood, reduce blood pressure, and protect you from major illnesses.

If you don’t protect your brain, you might be putting yourself at great risk. However, if you take care of your brain, it will take care of you. One of the best ways you can care for your brain is by taking healthy, high-potency supplements.

And don’t worry, your days of fussing with bottles or a weekly vitamin organizer are over. BrainMD offers ultra-pure, brain-directed supplements in a convenient packet. We’ve developed 2 unique supplement packet options to fit your on-the-go lifestyle:
