Definitely solid advice.
It may sound simple, but walking daily, drinking water, and sleeping well (and not too late on either side) are fundamental wellbeing factors.
With these three, cognitive ability is maintained (and improved). Also, if you consume sweetened or carbonated drinks, it’s best to reduce your intake (and perhaps quit altogether). This holds true for coffee and alcohol as well.
Two side notes on helpful factors I’ve discovered:
When walking, it helps to not have headphones on (either music or audiobooks) - allow the mind to decompress.
Similarly, if possible, walk in a park, or any area with clean (-er) air and lots of green. This one depends on your location, of course, and you can substitute green with blue if you’re seaside.
- isthisthingon99 4y agoYou said it well. One of the things I also strive to do when walking is to focus on things in the distance, especially since I work on a screen all day long.
- MonkeyClub 4y agoYep, opens up the horizon, both of the eyes and of the mind - not that they're necessarily different, but for me it's a very physical feeling in the mind, to move from focusing a foot away to focusing on "infinity".
