211: How Lifestyle Habits can Reverse Mental Decline

Description: 

In this episode, David Sandstrom shifts the focus from "what can I take" to "what can I do" to preserve mental clarity and age gracefully .  By aligning our habits with God’s natural design for the spirit, mind, and body, you will learn how to remove the lifestyle obstacles that lead to cognitive decline .  David shares how to "fertilize" your brain through vigorous exercise and neuroplasticity, helping you maintain a high level of vitality well into your later years .  You'll also discover the biological importance of restorative sleep and social connection in protecting your brain from toxins and atrophy .  Ultimately, this episode equips the Natural Nation with science-backed, Biblically-based strategies to live the abundant life Jesus promised.
