How to Maintain Good Brain, Mental & Neurological Health (Beyond Supplements)
6 August 2025
Good morning, EB Community!
More to life then just supplements.
Taking the right supplements is but one piece of the entire wellness jigsaw puzzle to our best of health.
For today, let’s learn more about what constitutes a really balanced approach to our wellbeing.
As my focus for August is on our mind and head, let me shine the torch light in this area today.
How to Maintain Good Brain, Mental & Neurological Health (Beyond Supplements)
While supplements like VigourCells and Pine Bark extract provide foundational cellular support, long-term brain health also depends on lifestyle, diet, and mindset.
Here are 8 key habits that support a sharp mind and strong nervous system:
1. 🥬 Eat Brain-Healthy Foods
• Prioritise Omega-3s (e.g., fatty fish, flaxseeds)
• Antioxidant-rich fruits & veggies (e.g., berries, spinach, turmeric, orange and purple fruits and vegetables)
• Avoid processed sugars, trans fats & excessive alcohol - stay hydrated and drink more water.
2. 🏃♂️ Move Your Body
• Daily physical activity boosts blood flow to the brain
• Exercises like walking, swimming & dancing are excellent for coordination and neuroplasticity. It doesn’t mean only going to gym counts. Keep yourself busy and moving works too.
3. 💤 Sleep Deeply & Regularly
• The brain clears toxins (like beta-amyloid) during deep sleep
• Aim for 7–9 hours of quality rest each night.
- I take magnesium nightly to enhance my sleep quality.
4. 🧘♀️ Manage Stress Well
• Chronic stress increases cortisol, which damages brain cells
• Practice prayer, deep breathing, journaling, or mindfulness daily
- keep stress low. I believe my stroke came last year after my brain couldn’t cope with the immense stress I was going through.
5. 📚 Keep Learning
• Read books, learn a new skill, language, or instrument
• Cognitive stimulation builds neural connections and protects against decline
6. 🧑🤝🧑 Stay Socially Connected
• Loneliness increases dementia risk
• Build meaningful relationships, have regular conversations, laugh and connect
7. 🧂 Balance Blood Sugar & Blood Pressure
• High sugar and pressure damage tiny blood vessels in the brain
• Monitor regularly, eat fiber-rich meals, and stay hydrated
8. 🌞 Get Sunshine & Vitamin D
• Low vitamin D is linked to cognitive decline
• Safely sunbathe or supplement if needed
Final words:
✅ Supplements like VigourCells, Pine Bark extract, Vitamins D3/K2, and Omega-3 further nourish and protect brain cells by:
• Reducing oxidative stress
• Improving blood flow
• Supporting neurotransmitter balance
• Boosting mitochondrial energy
Remember, your brain is your control center. Treat it with care, feed it well, and give it rest and purpose.
Stay well everyone!
Life is beautiful. Live it as best as you can.
