Mindsip insights from this episode:

Implement daily review of positive moments to boost happiness

Reviewing 'what went well today' hour-by-hour before bed is a research-backed practice that can increase happiness in just three weeks.

Drip dopamine to maintain motivation

Avoid activities that 'dump' dopamine, like excessive social media, as they wear out your brain's pleasure centers and leave you feeling unmotivated.

Adopt fat-based diet to lower Alzheimer's risk by 42%

A fat-based diet can reduce Alzheimer's risk by 42%, whereas a standard American diet high in sugar and processed carbs can increase it by 400%.

Question negative thoughts to regain emotional control

Challenge your Automatic Negative Thoughts (ANTs) by asking if they are absolutely true to prevent them from controlling your emotions.

Nourish new brain cells with healthy food choices

Your hippocampus, the brain's memory center, creates 700 new stem cells every day, and you can either nourish them with good food or let them shrivel with junk food.

Fuel your brain with nutrient-dense foods for optimal function

Although the brain is only 2% of your body's weight, it consumes 20-30% of the calories you eat, making nutrient-dense food essential for cognitive function.

Prioritize 6.5-7 hours of sleep to cleanse your brain

Your brain cleans and washes itself during sleep, and getting less than 6.5-7 hours allows toxic trash to build up.

Reduce sugar intake to enhance brain healing post-injury

Sugar is pro-inflammatory and can prevent the brain from learning and healing after an injury, as demonstrated in a UCLA study on mice.
