Doing what you love is good for your brain 🧠

Having the freedom to pursue what you love goes beyond enjoyment. New research reveals an intriguing link between living a purposeful life and brain health. The study suggests that finding meaning in life can contribute to better cognitive function and potentially reduce the risk of dementia in older adults.

While previous studies focused on lifestyle factors, such as exercise and diet, this research sheds light on the impact of psychological well-being in slowing cognitive decline. By understanding how mental well-being is linked to cognitive function, researchers are uncovering the keys to maintaining a healthy and sharp mind as we age.

August is Happiness Happens Month 😊

A time to celebrate and focus on happiness, both big and small. It originated from "Admit You're Happy Day" on August 8th, which was created by the Secret Society of Happy People in 1999.

The celebration was expanded to the entire month of August in 2000 to give more time to recognize and share happiness. The goal is to encourage people to acknowledge and appreciate moments of joy, and to spread happiness to others. 🥰
