Does therapy rewire your brain? 🧠

Cognitive behavioural therapy is a talking therapy that can help you manage your problems by changing the way you think and behave. It's most commonly used to treat anxiety and depression, but can be useful for other mental and physical health problems.

Behavioral activation is a part of the cognitive behavioral therapy model that can help in rewiring the brain to become more of a positive feedback loop.

Therapy and rehabilitation can help your brain relearn the ability by repairing old pathways or creating new ones.

Educating students about their brain health! 👇

Brainable is a free education program, created by @womensbrains in Ontario geared to students in grades 5-8 about how to protect their brain health, taught in English and French, that supplements the current student curriculum.

The best way to prolong and strengthen our brain health, is to prevent or reduce the risk of harming it as we get older by making smart lifestyle choices. The choices that we make today, and every day, can either protect or harm how our brain functions when we are older.

What increases our risk? High blood pressure, high cholesterol, obesity, smoking, poor eating habits, lack of exercise.

What decreases our risk? Staying mentally, physically, and socially active, sleeping 7-8 hours every night, and managing our stress.

The more positive things we do for our brain, the stronger the protective effect will be.

New research from the University of Sheffield has found being overweight is an additional burden on brain health and it may exacerbate Alzheimer's disease. The pioneering multimodal neuroimaging study revealed obesity may contribute toward neural tissue vulnerability, whilst maintaining a healthy weight in mild Alzheimer's disease dementia could help to preserve brain structure.

Prevention is key!

Do not wait until you are older to start focusing on losing weight; start now and think about your brain health to prevent these diseases much earlier on in life.

Is coffee good for your brain? Swipe left to find out! ☕

Coffee is one of the world’s most popular drinks.

The morning beverage or, for some, afternoon pick-me-up is most known for its high caffeine content, perking up even the most tired eyes. Given coffee’s popularity, several studies have examined its effects on our health, both immediate and in the long term.

As it turns out, moderate coffee consumption is associated with health benefits, including a reduced risk of prediabetes and liver disease.

Researchers have also looked into caffeine’s effect on the brain and the findings so far look quite promising when it comes to your cognitive health.
