Do not do these things if you care abt your brain 🧠 #MentalHealth #brain #wellness #health #MentalHealthAwareness #lifetips

Three things I will not do as a neuroscientist in order to protect my brain. Number one is go on my phone when I wake up in the morning. Whenever you wake up in the morning, your brain waves transition from theta to alpha. This means that our subconscious mind isn't a more programmable state. The content that you consume during this time will have a greater impact on your mindset. And messes up our dopamine for the rest of the day so that we continue to check our phones. Number two is negative self-talk. What you say to yourself matters and the more you put that into your brain, the more it gets wired in. And what's wired in is what we manifest. Number three is eat highly processed foods. There's plenty of science now to support that what you eat impacts your brain. But especially highly processed foods lead to brain aging. And we don't want that.
