Share Description
With global health deterioration, particularly in brain health, this course introduces you to methods for maximising your brain's fitness through nutrition, exercise, meditation, and sleep. We'll debunk popular myths about prescribed practices for overall health and then uncover studies from the last few decades revealing practical routines and interventions that are proven to help improve the brain. You'll also get a look at the brain's structure and common brain functions, as well as a "prescription" for improving your brain's health each week.
