I\'m learning so many practical tips that I can incorporate into my life RIGHT NOW.
Gupta explains how our brains work in language that is relatable and easy to understand. He debunks common myths about aging and cognitive decline, explores whether there’s a “best” diet or exercise regimen for the brain, and explains whether it’s healthier to play video games that test memory, or to engage in more social interaction. He also shares whether there are benefits to drugs, supplements, and vitamins.
Dr. Gupta also addresses brain disease, particularly Alzheimer’s, answers questions about the signs and symptoms, and shows how to ward against it and stay healthy while caring for a partner in cognitive decline.

If you want to know whether you would have marched with Martin Luther King Jr. then, ask yourself - WHAT ARE YOU DOING NOW? Only 30% of white people approved of MLK when he was live - the same percentage of white people who now approve of Colin Kaepernick.
Dr. King said \\"Large segments of white society are more concerned about tranquility and the status quo than about justice and humanity.\\"
Food for thought on MLK day 2021.

I\'m a girl who believes in continuously trying to improve -- that\'s just how I\'m wired.
However, this year, I\'m making some changes. Last year was challenging and just two weeks into 2021, the daily news and the ongoing pandemic feel like a LOT. So I\'m focusing my goals on improving my daily habits and on things that I CAN CONTROL.
Let me give you an example. Rather than saying \\"I want to lose X pounds\\", I\'ve set a goal to workout 25 times a month, to drink more water, and to eat an early dinner and stop snacking in the evenings. Those are all things I\'m in complete control over. If I focus on them, I\'m hoping that the pounds will take care of themselves. And if that doesn\'t happen, at least I\'ve established some healthy daily habits.
One other thing I can control are the products I put on my body and use in our home. I\'m more committed than ever to ensuring that I find (and share) high-performing products that are cleaner, less toxic, and better for the planet.
What are you goals for 2020?
Tomorrow, I\'m doing a giveaway of BeautyCounter\'s brand new Clean Deodorant. I\'ve been testing it for the past few months and I can\'t wait to tell you all about it. (If you\'re signed up for my Clean Beauty Newsletter, you got a first look yesterday.) You can sign up for my newsletters here: https://www.grownupdish.com/subscribe/
