Keep Your Brain Young
3 TIPS FOR GOOD BRAIN HEALTH FROM HARVARD MEDICAL SCHOOL
2. PAY ATTENTION TO YOUR MENTAL HEALTH. Poor mental health can lead to impaired cognitive function. Chronic anxiety, depression, and exhaustion tend to cause low scores on cognitive function tests. But test scores aren’t necessarily a sign of future cognitive decline, and Harvard Health Publishing urges readers to maintain good mental health and get restful sleep, as they are “certainly important goals” for improving cognitive function and overall well-being. 3. STAY CONNECTED. It’s not enough to focus on yourself. In order to maintain your long-term cognitive health, you should also focus on your connections with other people. According to Harvard Health Publishing, “Strong social ties have been associated with a lower risk of dementia, as well as lower blood pressure and longer life expectancy.” Make new friends, stay in touch with family members, and maintain positive relationships in your life. They say an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. This is certainly true when it comes to your brain health. Do what you can today to protect your mental functions tomorrow.
As we age, our bodies change, including our mental functions. Cognitive decline is one of the biggest fears of aging, but it’s not inevitable. Though we’re still learning new things about how our brains work,
there’s a lot of scientific research that shows how to keep your brain young. If you want to keep your mind sharp throughout your lifetime, then follow this advice from Harvard Medical School.
1. GET A GOOD WORKOUT. Exercising regularly helps all the muscles and organs in your body, even your brain! A good workout can lower your blood pressure and improve your cholesterol levels, which help your brain and your heart. Harvard Health Publishing, a website of Harvard Medical School, also notes that “animals who exercise regularly increase the number of tiny blood vessels that bring oxygen-rich blood to the region of the brain that is responsible for thought.”
With This Simple Procedure DEFEAT THE DAD BOD
Most of you have probably heard the term “dad bod” and know one when you see one. Characterized by an extended gut that gets in the way of any abs that might lie beneath, this body type is synonymous with fatherhood. While some dads might be fine with the “dad bod,” that doesn’t mean every dad has to be okay with it. We work with a lot of dads who want to stay in good shape, and we plan their diets and exercise routines accordingly. Maybe because of genetics or some other reason, some guys just can’t seem to get those defined abs they work so hard to achieve. If that’s the case for you, don’t worry! With Emsculpting, you won’t have to embrace the dad bod.
If you haven’t heard of Emsculpting, let’s do a quick rundown of what it is and why you should seriously consider it as the final step toward the abs (and butt) you’ve always wanted. Essentially, it’s a treatment that works out your abs for you by using electromagnetic pulses to produce high- intensity muscle contractions in rapid succession. In just one 30-minute session, Emsculpt can induce the equivalent of 20,000 crunches in your abdominal muscles. This essentially speeds up the process of burning belly fat, since every time your abs contract, they release epinephrine, a chemical that breaks down fat. Emsculpt can actually reduce fat by 19%. That’s not all, though — the procedure also builds up your muscles, increasing density by as much as 16%! Before scheduling an appointment, keep a few things in mind. First, it usually takes four Emsculpt treatments for the best results. Second, this procedure is meant to be a supplement for a proper diet and exercise, not a substitute for it. Don’t settle for the dad bod — schedule an Emsculpting appointment today at Cool Renew MedSpa by calling 814-864-9969.
