We often hear medical experts say that the way to keep our bodies healthy and functioning properly is achieved through certain lifestyle decisions. Staying physically active and ensuring beneficial fuel through a wholesome diet are just a few ways to avoid body aches and pains as we progress through life.

How does this differ in order to keep our minds healthy and active as well? There simply is no difference. Exercising our minds daily and eating our ‘super foods’, allows for our thoughts and memories to thrive.
