😎 Today’s Happy Brain ~ Will Napping Help You Remember?

by

Take Timeout for a Nap

Sleep has proven to be one of the most important elements in having a good memory.  . . . Even a short nap can improve your memory recall. . . . Research indicates that when memory is first recorded in the brain–in the hippocampus, to be specific–it’s still “fragile” and easily forgotten, especially if the brain is asked to memorize more things. Napping, it seems, pushes memories to the neocortex, the brain’s “more permanent storage,” preventing them from being “overwritten.”

🌞 Today’s Inspiration ~ Don’t Mind Your Mind

by

““The biggest wall you have to climb is the one you build in your mind: Never let your mind talk you out of your dreams, trick you into giving up. Never let your mind become the greatest obstacle to success. To get your mind on the right track, the rest will follow.”
~ Roy T. Bennett

🤗 Feel Good ~ Crying is Healthy

by

Cry When You Need To

Know that it’s okay to grieve. If a thought or memory comes up when you’re grocery shopping then let it out. If it happens in the shower, then let it out. Don’t try to hold it in or force yourself to cry cause you think you should. Just let it happen naturally.

Your body and soul knows when it needs to grieve… trust that it will come up when it needs to. And allow it to come out when you feel it come up rather than whether it is “socially appropriate.” Focus on what you need rather than whether it will “make other people uncomfortable.” Take care of yourself — be your own emotionally nurturing mother in this way.

🍎 Today’s Health Question ~ Are Unripe Bananas Healthy?

by

True or False: Unripe (Green) Bananas Are Safe to Eat.

Answer

TRUE: Green bananas have a secret superpower: They’re great for diarrhea. They contain resistant starch, which means it doesn’t let your small intestine absorb it quickly. Instead, it feeds good bacteria in your digestive tract and tells the bad bacteria to get out. Bananas are also full of electrolytes like potassium, which can help you replace what you’ve lost.
