Leigh Richardson – Improving Brain Health

Will these things really boost your brain?

–Fish for breakfast
–Sleeping on your side
–Turning off your GPS to improve your memory

One of the leading causes of diminishing cognitive capacity is when healthy people simply let their brain lose ground.
To best care for our bodies, we should all be well-schooled in the need to eat properly, getting plenty of sleep and regular exercise.

This is also the best advice to take care of your brain, the one organ in the body that is most often neglected.

“Brain health all starts with your sleep and your diet. That’s your foundation, because if you’re sleep deprived and nutritionally deficient, your brain is going to have a hard time working as well as it could,” advises Leigh Richardson, founder of The Brain Performance Center in Dallas.

She joins Wendy Edwards to discuss.
