What lifestyle habits should one adopt to stay healthy?

 Staying healthy begins with a nutrient-rich diet centered on whole foods like vegetables, fruits, lean proteins, whole grains, and healthy fats. It's important to limit processed foods, added sugars, and excessive salt, while staying well-hydrated and practicing mindful portion control.

Consistent meal timing and avoiding heavy late-night eating can also support better digestion and metabolism.

Regular physical activity - at least 150 minutes of moderate exercise per week and strength training twice weekly helps maintain weight, boost mood, and protect heart health.

Flexibility and mobility exercises, like stretching or yoga, reduce injury risk and improve daily function.

Prioritizing mental well-being through adequate sleep (7–9 hours), stress reduction, and emotional support is equally vital.

Avoiding smoking, limiting alcohol, and managing screen time contribute to both physical and emotional resilience.

Building these habits into your routine creates a sustainable, balanced lifestyle that enhances long-term health and vitality.

Start small, stay consistent, and remember your daily choices shape your future health.

Remain Blessed…

7 Habits destroying your Brain

 7 Habits destroying your Brain 🧠:

1. Not exercising.

Exercise improves memory by increasing the brain-derived neurotrophic factor. (Look it up!) This helps you form new synapses, improves learning, and boosts memory.

2. Not getting enough sleep.

Without quality sleep it’s harder to form and maintain pathways in your brain that let you learn and create new memories.

It’s also harder to concentrate and respond quickly.

3. Eating inflammatory foods.

What you eat has a direct effect on your mind and mood.

A diet high in foods that are dried and/or processed can lead to chronic inflammation. This can cause memory loss, confusion, depression, poor mood regulation, and even neurological diseases.

4. Having a big belly.

High body fat has been associated with a decline in gray matter, which enables us to control movement, memory, and emotions.

5. Not learning new things.

The brain is like a muscle. It grows and shrinks based on its level of activity and use.

Learning new skills stimulates neurons and forms new pathways that allow electrical impulses to travel faster.

If you’re not learning new things or skills you’re letting your brain atrophy.

6. Watching pornography.

Watching porn hijacks the brain reward system and overwhelms it with cheap hits of dopamine. The result is the brain physically deteriorates in size, shape, and chemical balance.(please avoid it,you still have time)

7. Spending too much time indoors.

This deprives you from getting exposure to sunlight.

Without enough sun exposure your circadian rhythm gets affected and your serotonin levels can dip. This can lead to seasonal affective disorder and depression.

How to Build a Healthy Brain

1) Exercise regularly.

2) Get quality sleep.

3) Eat nutrient dense foods.

4) Maintain a healthy BMI.

5) Keep learning new things.

6) Stop watching porn.

7) Spend more time outside or with nature.
