Are you doing Dry January or reconsidering your relationship with alcohol in the new year? 🍷🍺
Although these findings paint a grim picture of alcohol’s impact on the brain, the effects don’t have to be permanent. You are not stuck with the brain you have. Brain imaging studies at Amen Clinics show that the brains of heavy drinkers and alcohol abusers have the potential for recovery. Before-and-after SPECT scans in patients who follow a brain rehab program show remarkable improvements in blood flow and activity in the brain. Additional scientific evidence has found that the cognitive deficits related to damage to the prefrontal cortex recover more rapidly than those associated with the hippocampus.
To rehab your brain, follow these tips:
Stop poisoning your brain with alcohol.
Love your brain.
Fuel your brain with nutrient-dense foods.
Avoid sugar in all its forms.
Eliminate things that lower blood flow, including too much caffeine or smoking.
Learn to kill the ANTs (automatic negative thoughts) that steal your happiness.
