[JJ's Power Pick]( [Dementia-Preventing Brain Longevity Tips for People in Their 40s]( Did you know early-onset dementia diagnoses in U.S. adults increased by 373% in recent years? It’s one of the many reasons it’s never too early to start giving your brain a boost. This article shares some fantastic tips on strengthening your executive-functioning skills to improve brain longevity. You might already know that complex games like chess and crossword puzzles can help with this, as can quality supplements and your diet. But one of my favorite parts of this article highlights how important soul-fulfilling activities are, too. That’s your challenge today: Do one thing that fills you with purpose!   [Why Women Can Benefit From Creatine Even More Than Men]( Creatine needs a rebrand. It has a reputation as the supplement for beefy gym dudes, but this video showcases why we’ve got it all wrong. For one, creatine isn’t only about athletic performance, though it can help drive better results at the gym. It keeps you on track with building and maintaining muscle even as it begins to decline with age. Creatine can also help stabilize energy levels, reducing slumps and mental fatigue. Plus, women stand to benefit from creatine a lot more than men, since we have just 10% of the resting creatine that men do, and a decline in estrogen influences its synthesis.   [Study Shows Broccoli Is Even More of a Superfood Than We Ever Knew]( We already knew broccoli was a nutrition superstar. But a new study in mice found that some smart broccoli molecules bound to a receptor that protected the lining of the small intestine, helping to make it more resilient to predators and preventing disease in the process. The researchers theorized that other cruciferous veggies like Brussels sprouts and cabbage may have the same effect. Honestly, it feels like broccoli is showing off a little at this point 😉 but that’s not going to stop me from enjoying it tonight.   Love, JJ   P.S. If you know anyone with multiple sclerosis, as well as those who may be experiencing neurological symptoms that are currently being evaluated, or have the condition yourself, you must connect with my pal Dr. Terry Wahls at her upcoming Multiple Sclerosis and Neuroimmune Summit.
