At sculp’d, we are invested in our overall health. You can’t focus on only one area – movement, gut, nutrition, sleep or your brain – and ignore the others. Here are some tips to help you feel great, support your health and help improve your overall brain health.

They leave behind free radicals, and while a few free radicals are good to get rid of weak cells, too many cause inflammation and damage to healthy cells. Your brain cells are vulnerable to these free radicals because of the volume of energy the brain goes through – 20% of your body’s total energy haul. By eating brightly colored veggies, these will help neutralize those free radicals.

Joining our group fitness classes at sculp’d and moving around can help lower inflammation and stress hormones as well as improve blood flow to your brain.
Combining exercise with a healthy diet may improve cognitive function more than only doing one or the other. A study found that older individuals with mild cognitive impairment had improved thinking and memory, especially when following the right nutritional diet and participating in exercise.
