7/ Myth: “Socializing doesn’t impact cognition.” Big no! Social bonds release oxytocin, calming the amygdala. Call a friend this week—it’s brain medicine! 📞 #CognitiveLongevity

6/ Myth: “You can’t grow new brain cells.” False! Neurogenesis happens in the hippocampus, even in adults. Exercise & learning stimulate it—try a 20-min jog to spark growth! 🏃‍♂️

4/ Myth: “Supplements fix cognition.” Nope! Most lack evidence. A Mediterranean diet with omega-3s (fish, walnuts) reduces inflammation & supports neurons. Eat fish this week! 🐟

2/ Myth: “Brain games keep you sharp.” Truth: They help, but only 10%. Sleep & exercise matter more—30 min walking boosts BDNF, a protein for neuron growth! 🚶‍♀️ #BrainHealth

5/ This week: Journal 5 min to process emotions, call a friend for oxytocin boost, learn at nami.org. Small steps build a stronger brain. What’s your brain health habit? Share! 💪 #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek

4/ Mental health issues are biological—depression shows on brain scans! Therapy & lifestyle changes rewire your brain, not weakness. Let’s end stigma & talk mental health like any health issue. 💬 #NoStigma

3/ Feed your brain right! Omega-3s (fish, walnuts) & antioxidants (berries) support neurons. Cut sugar to lower inflammation tied to depression. Try a Mediterranean diet for a happier brain. 🥗 #MentalHealth

2/ Chronic stress floods the brain with cortisol, harming neurons. Sleep (7–8 hrs), exercise (30 min/day), & mindfulness (5 min) repair damage & boost resilience. Protect your brain like it’s your most vital organ! 🧠 #BrainHealth
