You have two lungs and two kidneys, but you have only one brain. Make the most of it – and complement its own built-in safety features – by following these tips:
Wear a helmet: While riding your bike, skateboarding, snowboarding, or an engaging in any other potentially dangerous activity.
Don’t smoke: Not only is it bad for your lungs, but it can cause neurological damage to your brain as well.
Eat well: A poor diet can lead to illnesses later in life (such as type 2 diabetes and high blood pressure) that can cause shrinkage of the brain.
Exercise your body: Running, playing, soccer, and other physical activity releases chemicals that refresh your brain and prime it for learning.
Exercise your mind: Games that test your memory and concentration actually improve your brain’s flexibility in processing information and can possibly help you dodge dementia (a disease that affects your mental abilities) later in life.
