So that time off, even if it's five or 10 minutes to reset and rejuvenate, I feel like it's a necessity.
I feel like I'm at a disadvantage if I don't do it 10 minutes a day, twice a day, especially when my mental energy is dipping, like we're after lunch or something like that.
The E is exercise.
I just want to remind everybody that as your body moves, your brain grooves.
When you exercise, you create BDNF, brain-derived neurotrophic factors, which is the key to neuroplasticity.
It's fertilizer for your brain.
The D is diet.
What you eat matters, especially for your gray matter.
So we talked a lot about last time, some of the best brain foods.
In the new book, we talked about nootropics, like certain substances that are highly studied that has been shown to enhance cognitive performance, your focus, your memory, your mood.
your mental energy.
We put a listing actually on the website, stuff like that, brainnutrition.com.
You don't have to buy the book.
We put all the studies and different things that's been tested well.

So I would start with those four basic things.
And most of it outside of diet, which food we're paying for anyway, is free.
Meditation, exercise, sleep.
