Brain Health Support Bundle

Is your mind clear?

Have you ever noticed that on days where your brain is functioning well, it’s easy to track conversations and thoughts, while on other days, your mind seems foggy? Maybe you even feel brighter on some days than on other days. When we have those occasional days, we could benefit from support.

How to support a healthy brain

Adequate sleep is important for a healthy brain. Healthy adults need an average of 7-9 hours of sleep per night.¹ Quality of sleep also matters, which can be enhanced by avoiding the blue light of screens before bed and winding down with a bedtime routine.

Good nutrition is important for a healthy brain.² Foods like fruits and vegetables are rich in vitamins and minerals, which play an important role in both energy and cognitive health.³ Healthy fats are also important for brain health.⁴

Physical activity is important for a healthy brain. In addition to increasing circulation and promoting cardiovascular health, exercise may help with brain health and mood.⁵,⁶
