Thank you @ariannahuff! We are incredibly proud of this research proving what we focus on every day: your brain is a dynamic system that responds directly to how you treat it. Cognitive decline doesn’t have to be the default narrative.

What’s one of the biggest myths about aging?
That cognitive decline is inevitable. In a new study of nearly 4,000 people in the @NaturePortfolio journal "Scientific Reports," we learn the opposite is true: By practicing small, daily habits, you can make a direct impact on your brain health.
Strategies used by the participants included: single-tasking vs. multitasking, taking tech-free brain breaks, journaling, bringing awareness to their breath, expressing gratitude, and volunteering.
And those who started at the lowest baseline saw some of the largest gains.
What strategy will you try?

What if peak brain performance isn’t built in the gym… but in the gaps of your day? 👀

Acts of kindness trigger positive changes in the brain by releasing dopamine, serotonin & oxytocin, which enhance mood, reduce stress and strengthen social bonds. MRI studies show that kindness lights up the brain's pleasure centers, similarly to eating chocolate or winning money

Your brain’s best years aren’t behind you.
Dr. Sandra Chapman (@BrainHealth) shares her research insights at the Human Optimization Summit during @SXSW—showing how neuroplasticity can keep your brain improving at any age.
We’ve only measured decline—until now. Brain health optimization is changing that.
