Brain Health Assessment

 

by Dr. Heidi Hanna

Daily mental multitasking and our constant state of busyness can create a chronic level of stress on our brain, causing us to be unfocused, distracted and less productive. For most of our history, scientists believe that this was simply how our brain worked, that we're hardwired to respond to our circumstances in a specific way, and our only solution was to try to change the amount of mental stress we experience.

This exercise is designed by Dr. Heidi Hanna to help identify where to focus your time and energy, and eventually moving on to more advanced strategies that fully unleash the potential of your brain.

 #1 Nutrition - Food is Fuel

___ I eat something every 3-4 hours during the day

 ___ I eat balanced meals and snacks (approximately 25% protein, 25% whole grains, and 50% fruits & veggies at meals, with healthy snacks as needed)

___ I do not drink more than 2 servings of alcohol on any given day (not an average)

___ I very seldom consume portions that are larger than what would make me feel physically satisfied

___ I regularly consume foods with high nutritional value (fruits and vegetables, fish and other lean protein, nuts, seeds and other healthy fats, and whole grains)

___ I eat fatty fish at least 2 times per week or take a fish oil supplement
