Most people strive to maintain good mental health. Unfortunately, far too many fall into habits that interfere with that goal. Here's how to target those behaviors once and for all.

Being Overweight and Your Eating Habits: Problems, Solutions or Both? Vincent J. Felitti, MD discussing his adverse childhood experiences study and the impact of stress as well as this one treatment solution we discovered together thanks to one particular patient’s insight. “The past does not have to decide your destiny.” The truth is, stress and adverse experiences are not only in the past. We’re bound to experience challenges big and small for a lifetime. If we do not equip ourselves with the mental fortitude necessary to handle those stressors effectively, our mental health will suffer. The Adverse Childhood Experiences Study Created a Number of New Approaches in Medicine. Dr. Vincent J. Felitti is the world’s expert on ACEs — Adverse Childhood Experiences Study — at Kaiser Permanente in San Diego. They’ve collaborated for decades on treatment solutions. A number of books and studies have come from their work together. This is from a national TV show. https://vimeo.com/675712966 By taking preventative steps to protect and fortify our mental health, we’ll enable ourselves to flow gracefully through the ebbs and flows of life that may have otherwise broken us.

‘Good post! As MIT neuroscience Earl Miller explains, the human brain is “not wired to multitask well… When people think they’re multitasking, they’re actually just switching from one task to another very rapidly. And every time they do, there’s a cognitive cost in doing so.”’ And yet multi tasking is often required especially when we are expected to do more and more things ourselves, from scratch. To what extent do we ‘not need’ to find simpler and faster ways of doing things when the cognitive cost is better understood?
Our modern lifestyles are indeed a double-edged sword, offering convenience at the cost of our brain health. Sensory overload, underpinned by our obsession with multitasking, fragments our focus and diminishes cognitive performance. Could deliberate digital detoxes and mindful media consumption be our sanctuary? Face-to-face interactions, though diminished by digital surrogates, are essential for neuronal growth and mental well-being. Should we prioritize real conversations over virtual ones? Lastly, protecting our hearing is crucial, yet often neglected. How might we integrate hearing protection into our daily health routines? #BrainHealth #DigitalDetox #NeuroscienceInsights

Reduce your alcohol intake... Other drugs, and smoking too.... My father and uncle quit smoking in the sixties, both lived to 90s. Step dad died from emphysema around 70-ish. My father gardened, fished, but also ate whatever, didn't work out, but did take supplements... He died of heart failure. However... My Aunt did these recommended things, and more, they lived in the Sierra Mountains. Died at 82... Didn't drink or smoke... Brain gland shutdown, went bipolar, part diabetic, a cascade of issues. She was always a cheerful, happy, upbeat person. Life ain't fair.... Good Luck....
multitasking always leads to poorer performance. Even worse, it dulls the brain. According to a study conducted at Gresham College, just having an email sitting unread in your inbox while you try to concentrate on a task can damage your problem-solving performance by an equivalent of 10 IQ points.

1moMental health starts from curating what you allow into your line of sight/mind. The effect of sensory overload can be minimized by understanding that we don't perform better by consuming all kinds of content. It only wears us out and eventually lead to nowhere.
