Dr. Amen Shares His Daily Routine for a Healthy Brain

can you talk about a brain routine that people out there can use in order to gain a healthier brain well so the the first thing i'll just tell you my routine and what i recommend people do i actually today started last night so i focus on eight hours of sleep i'm really busy but i'm like okay it's 10 o'clock i'm going to bed um and um i put blue light blockers on any gadgets that i would use after sunday and so i have blue light blockers when i go to bed i have a routine i say a prayer and then i go what went well today so i am putting myself to sleep reviewing my day from a positive standpoint what went well today and i love looking for the micro moments of happiness what's the smallest thing that happened today that made me happy because it sets your dreams up to be more positive and then as soon as my feet hit the floor in the morning i go today is going to be a great day why because i want to look forward to something and your brain makes happen what it sees and start training my brain so many people wake up in fear because from an evolutionary standpoint we were evolved to pay attention to what could kill us what could eat us and those people woke up in fear actually lived longer but we don't need that now anymore that's a remnant of our past and then um i start the morning generally i do intermittent fasting so if i stopped eating at six i won't eat again until 10 and i start every day with this shake with protein shake with a cup of strawberries or blueberries because polyphenols are good for your brain protein's good for your brain i put in some healthy fat take my supplements um then i'm off to the day and every day every decision is this good for my brain or bad for it and i'm 67 and i just got some immune system test said my immune system was 20 years younger than i am so every day i'm either getting older or getting younger by the decisions that i make and then i have two huddles in the morning with my team i'm always doing it while i'm walking around a bike uh you know to just sit on zoom hour after hour well that'll shrink your brain you
