May is Mental Health Month and one aspect of our health that may not get enough attention is our brains. But making smart lifestyle choices now will support brain health for years to come. In her book, Resilience: Powerful Practices for Bouncing Back from Disappointment, Difficulty, and Even Disaster, Linda Graham writes there are eight ways to nurture healthy brain functioning: engaging in vigorous exercise, getting enough sleep (and making it deep sleep), eating a MIND diet (read her article for details), building cognitive reserve through learning, being curious and creative, laughing out loud, hanging out with other healthy brains, and turning off technology. Read more about each of these in Graham's article on Mindful.org.
