[JJ's Power Pick]( [New Insight on the Brain-Body Connection Shows the Importance of Meditation, Breathing, and More]( We’ve long known that a calm mind means a calm body, and vice versa. Recently, researchers discovered scientific evidence for how that mind-body connection works. The groundbreaking study found that the structure of your brain embeds a link between your body and mind. The study offered some intriguing findings including how breathing exercises can help anxiety and why regular exercise cultivates a positive outlook. I love how the science clearly shows how practices like meditation can have tangible effects on mental and physical health. [Simple Ways to Nourish and Nurture Your Brain as You Age Powerfully]( Maintaining optimal brain health is a critical but often-overlooked component of aging powerfully. As you age, cognitive abilities, memory, and overall mental well-being demand close attention. That’s why I found this article from Lisa Mosconi, Ph.D. (a neuroscientist and neuronutritionist as well as an expert on women’s brain health and longevity) so valuable. She discusses the right tests to request from your healthcare practitioner for brain health, why meditation is so important to manage stress, and why diet plays such an important role in cognitive function. I don’t 100% agree with her plant-based dietary recommendations (animal protein is mission-critical for me), but you’ll find some real gems here about maintaining stellar brain health. [Why We Age and How to Stop It by Sandra Kaufmann, MD]( Throughout her research on aging, Sandra Kaufmann discovered that there were several common theories about cellular aging, which she organized into seven tenets. In this brilliant book, she explains each one so you have an in-depth of understanding of what contributes to aging and how you can slow down the hands of time. In the second part of the book, she looks at the top 15 substances that can decelerate the aging process at a molecular level. It’s a fascinating read!   Love, JJ   P.S. The omega-3 fatty acids in fish and fish oil are among my favorite, science-supported ways to support brain health. Getting these omega-3s is super convenient with Omega Plus. Every convenient softgel provides impressive amounts of the omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA, along with vitamin E.* Because I want you to get these brain-supporting fatty acids every single day, I’m offering Omega Plus for 20% OFF. Simply use code OMEGA. But don’t wait: this offer expires 8/12 at midnight ET. [Order yours here](.   *These statements have not been evaluated by the Food & Drug Administration.
