Dr. Bredesen introduces six steps for brain health
Dr. Dale Bredesen has introduced a six-step protocol in his new book aimed at preventing cognitive decline and promoting brain health. Key recommendations include prioritizing deep sleep, optimizing diet, and managing stress through meditation. Bredesen emphasizes the importance of achieving seven to eight and a half hours of sleep, focusing on deep sleep stages for effective brain detoxification. He also suggests dietary changes, advocating for a plant-rich, mildly ketogenic diet to support cognitive function. Additional lifestyle tips include reducing screen time before bed, maintaining consistent sleep schedules, and incorporating morning exercise. These changes aim to enhance overall brain health and mitigate the effects of aging.
