Key Points:

• Adopt a healthy eating lifestyle: Follow a KetoFlex style of eating, which is mildly ketogenic and plant-based. Focus on consuming vegetables and greens as the main part of your meals, along with healthy proteins and fats.
• Engage in regular exercise: Incorporate physical activity into your daily routine, such as walking, swimming, cycling, or resistance training. Strong leg strength is particularly beneficial for brain health.
• Manage stress: While it's impossible to eliminate stress, it's important to find ways to manage it. This can include practices like prayer, meditation, yoga, or any other stress-relief techniques that work for you.
• Prioritize sleep: Establish a sleep routine and aim for 7-8 hours of quality sleep each night. Wind down before bedtime, avoid eating 3 hours before bed, and limit caffeine and alcohol intake close to bedtime.
• Stay hydrated: Drink enough water to keep your body hydrated and flush out toxins. Aim for at least 30 milliliters of water per kilogram of body weight, adjusting for individual needs.
