The brain is the master control center for the entire body. Excess internal and external stressors can create an unfavorable environment for cognitive function by reducing processing efficiencies and hindering physical performance.
Cognitive strain impairs the brain's ability to function, slowing down processing, decision-making, and reaction times. This strain disrupts communication within the brain and between the brain and body. Reducing cognitive strain enhances brain-body communication, leading to faster processing, improved decision-making, and better technical efficiency.
Supplement with Omega-3 Fatty Acids: Omega-3 fatty acids are a major component of the brain. Supplementation with omega-3 fatty acids has been shown to help preserve cognition and promote neural health, resulting in improved cognitive performance. (source) Further, omega-3 fatty acids can prevent a decline in gray matter volume in various regions of the brain. (source) Recommendation: Supplement with at least 2 g of fish oil or 1 g of alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) daily.
Supplement with Lion's Mane: Active compounds found in Lion's mane have been shown to have anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective properties. (source) These compounds stimulate the production of factors that play an essential role in nerve function, helping to relieve strain on cognitive functions for better performance. (source) Recommendation: Supplement with at least 2g of Lion's Mane daily.
