Is your nose ready for winter?
Your sinuses are your first line of defense — but dry air makes them vulnerable. Your sinuses weren’t designed for forced heat and frozen air. Hydrate them, naturally.

Do you experience Brain Fog? Consuming foods that are good for brain health are one way to combat what you are experiencing. Here are some suggestions:

+Plenty of fruits and vegetables which are rich in antioxidants to nourish and protect your brain.
+High-quality plant and animal proteins which are rich in amino acids.
+Sufficient water to maintain optimal hydration – shoot for ½ your body weight in ounces every day.
+Fatty fish such as salmon, mercury-free tuna, and sardines which are rich in omega-3 fatty acids are excellent sources of DHA and EPA.
+Berries also contain high amounts of antioxidants along with flavonoids which have been shown to improve cognitive function.
+The mushroom, Lion’s Mane is the king when it comes to improving cognitive function and optimizing brain health.
+Walnuts and pumpkin seeds are rich in Vitamin E, fiber, and protein.
+Eggs are a good source of choline, a superfood when it comes to brain development and cognitive function.
+Dark chocolate not only contains caffeine but also contains a generous amount of flavonoids which also protect brain health.

Without a steady supply of these nutrients, our brains can't function at their best. By consuming a balanced diet rich in whole foods, we can ensure that our brains have the nutrients they need to function at their best.

What else can you do to improve brain health? Comment below with your guesses.
