Brain Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF) is a protein that not only maintains healthy neurons but enhances their function and growth too.
It impacts learning and memory, mood and even your glucose metabolism.
People with low levels of BDNF often lead more sedentary and indoor lifestyles, consume a diet higher in processed foods, and/or live with a chronic disease.
It’s clear that increasing your BDNF will enhance your overall health and wellbeing.
Here are 5 ways you can do this.
#1 Manage Stress
Focus on what you can control and breakdown your tasks into smaller ones to reduce friction.
#2 Reduce Sugar Intake
This will come from eating less junk food or sweet food and drinks.
#3 Eat Omega-3 Rich Foods
Eating more salmon, walnuts, and green leafy vegetables will give your BDNF levels a boost.
#4 Sleep
You can restore BDNF levels with 8-9 hours of deep quality sleep a night.
#5 Exercise
Incorporating at least 20 minutes of exercise into your daily routine will have the biggest influence on your levels of BDNF.
With exercise having the biggest impact on increasing your BDNF levels this provides yet another great reason to join BC24 and exercise anytime at your convenience.
