Answer by Connie b. Dellobuono:
Yes. Use your brain or lose your it.
But remember that mental health is also affected by our gut microbiome, so add probiotics, pickled veggies or acidophilus in your diet/supplements.
Avoid stress. Vitamin B complex and sleep can lessen it.
Sleep more. Exercise your body to grow your neurons.
Get sunshine, walk in nature or take Vitamin D3.
And eat more whole foods or a low carbs ketogenic diet.
All the above will help you especially when you avoid drugs (include smoking and alcohol) or medications that affect your brain (narcotics,prescribed or OTC).
