Heart of it BRAIN HEALTH

While we love our laptops, iPhones, and smart bands—our human brain is still the most fascinating computer out there. But our brain needs support to keep doing its thing (like sending information around the body at 268mph or managing up to 1,000 trillion neuronal connections—NBD). And that’s where brain health comes in. A healthier brain can be as simple as consuming more omega-3s.* Not only do they support our heart, joints, skin, eyes, and immune system, DHA and EPA omega-3s are brain health superstars—and krill oil is full of them.* Kori's exciting new Mind & Body supplement is an easy way to reap the benefits of krill oil, with added brain-supporting ingredients.* With powerful omega-3s plus plant antioxidants lutein and zeaxanthin, vitamin B12, and turmeric with curcumin, this unique supplement supports memory and attention, while supporting our nervous system and energy levels.* With Kori Mind & Body, you get a krill oil and brain health supplement all in one, so you don’t have to think twice! From how we move to what we eat, brain health is a 24/7 intention. And to make it easier, we’ve put all our favorite tips and practices right here.

Our brain knows everything about us… But how much do we know about our brain? We turned to you, our mindbodygreen community, to check in on all things brain health. As it turns out, you have questions. And we have answers!

Clear Your Mind With Mantra

Mantra meditation is a busy mind’s best friend… But let’s start from the top. Mantra is a Sanskrit word that translates loosely to “vehicle of the mind.” A mantra is a word or phrase that, like a vehicle, transports us beyond thoughts and into a place of peace. Mantra meditation is an effortless practice that you can try in a matter of steps:

Quinoa

This golden grain is rich in protein, fiber, vitamins and minerals. Plus, it contains all nine essential amino acids which support energy levels, immunity, tissue growth, and beyond.

BRAIN

Omega-3 EPA and DHA nutrients are essential building blocks that support overall brain health by promoting new neuron development (especially in early life stages) and nerve signal communication.* Kori Krill Oil is also a natural source of choline, a nutrient that provides further support for our brain and nervous system.*

EYES

Omega-3 nutrients support our overall eye and vision health.* From promoting the development of eye photoreceptors to maintaining eye moisture and lubrication, these fatty acids play a key role in eye comfort and vision quality.*

IMMUNE SYSTEM

Research indicates that a diet with higher levels of omega-3s is associated with immune system support, promoting cellular repair and internal defense systems.*

HEART

Omega-3s are essential fatty acids with loads of heart benefits! They support healthy blood pressure, support healthy triglyceride levels, may increase “good” cholesterol (HDL), and support normal circulation and heart rhythm.*

SKIN

Omega-3 nutrients help maintain our skin barrier function by promoting skin hydration and elasticity.* This helps protect us against free radical damage, environmental factors, and water-loss.*

JOINTS

Kori Krill Oil delivers omega-3s in a natural form called phospholipids, which helps to support our joint comfort and flexibility. By supporting our joint health, these nutrients play an important role in mobility.*

Take a comfortable seat. With mantra meditation, it is recommended that your body is as supported as possible, so rest your back against something comfy. Close your eyes and find stillness.

Think of something that you want more of in your life, represented by one word. For example, your word could be love, peace, joy, security, or health.

Slowly repeat this chosen word, silently in your mind. Do your best not to control the pace of repetition. Repeat the mantra naturally.

Continue for five minutes. Know that it is natural to have thoughts during this time. When you notice that you’re distracted, simply return to repeating the mantra.

Green Tea

Green tea has been shown to benefit both cognition and brain function, thanks to its combined levels of caffeine and L-theanine.

Dark leafy greens

Green leafy vegetables like spinach, kale, and collard greens are linked to better cognitive function, thanks to nutrients and bioactives like folate, nitrate, and lutein.

Blueberries

Blueberries are rich in antioxidants, which help protect us against oxidative stress (which impacts our brain).

Fatty Fish

Fatty fish, like salmon or tuna, is a great source of DHA and EPA omega-3 fatty acids, which have been proven to support the brain.*

Cocoa

Cocoa is loaded with flavanols, plant compounds that have been proven to benefit brain vascular function and cognitive performance.

Name a nutrient famous for supporting brain health.

TRUE OR FALSE:

Brain health affects your attention span.

A good memory starts with a healthy brain, and how it turns experiences into memories. After any event, neurons (in the hippocampus) start chatting via chemical messengers sent through synapses. This communication creates a network of cells—AKA, a memory. The more we recall this memory over time, the deeper it’s ingrained in the hippocampus and cortex. Sometimes our memory is not as sharp as we’d like it to be. Forgetting words or even the day of the week? Happens to the best of us. Generally speaking, a healthy memory means two things: 1) completing familiar tasks without difficulty, and 2) remembering information without interrupting your daily life.

POP QUIZ:

What does “good memory” really mean?

As human beings, we are constantly filtering a complex world of stimuli, from Instagram ads to convos on the subway. Science defines attention as our ability to “prioritize only some elements of the environment while filtering out others,” which is governed across the parietal, temporal, and frontal areas of the brain. Research shows that stressors affecting this “attention network,” can directly impact our ability to keep our mind on the task at hand. Attention is a hot commodity these days, and a healthy brain is the key player.

TRUE

What starts with an “O”, comes after 2, and has a reputation for supporting our brain? Omega-3s! These fatty acids keep our body’s processes running smoothly from head-to-toe. But it’s DHA and EPA omega-3s that specifically nourish our noggin, and krill oil is a great source of both.* Not only does the unique Kori Mind & Body supplement support brain health with omega-3s, it provides added brain-supporting ingredients like plant antioxidants lutein and zeaxanthin, vitamin B12, and curcumin from turmeric.* These complementary nutrients and phytonutrients support memory and attention, while supporting our nervous system and energy levels too.*

Between the school pick-ups and drop-offs, online meetings, cycling classes, and nutritious meals—we’re all looking for more energy. Every task on our to-do lists starts with a little mental energy, or what science defines as “a subjective feeling about one’s capacity to accomplish tasks in daily life.” Here are three ways to support your energy levels: 1. Eat brain-supporting nutrients—like leafy greens, blueberries, walnuts, cocoa, fatty fish, eggs, and whole grains. 2. Regularly move your body. Research has shown that exercise can have benefits on cognitive function and well-being. 3. Take a brain health supplement. With Kori Mind & Body, you get a krill oil and brain health supplement.* Two supplements in one? Sounds like a no brainer.

Science tells us we can boost our brain health through six pillars: physical activity, mental exercise, nutrition/diet, social life, sleep/relaxation, and cardiovascular health. These six pillars leave us plenty of freedom to create a brain health routine that fits our unique lifestyle. From yoga classes to nutritious meals to making Kori Mind & Body a part of your daily routine—when we show up for our brain, it shows up for us!
