How to have a healthier brain…. “then what?”
After 21 years, and 70,000+ BRAIN IMAGING scans, (SPECT Scans that show how the brain functions), used to help understand and treat patients at the Amen Clinics, bestselling author, Daniel Amen, MD, in his 371 page book, Use your Brain, to Change Your Age, confirms:
“the bottom line of brain health can be summed up in four words:
AVOID BAD-DO GOOD”
He went on to state…
“Make good decisions. Consistent, thoughtful, conscientious behavior is the number-one predictor of longevity.”
So in training our physical body, “the beautiful”, in the goal of physical longevity, Dr. Amen confirms, we must strive to make “good”, consistent decisions about its care.
God’s creation and Word teaches us that God is the source of all goodness, truth, purity, light and that if we want to do “Good” like our Creator , we need to follow His Way.
“all scripture is inspired of God and is profitable for teaching, rebuking, for correcting, for training in righteousness, so that man may be complete, equipped for every GOOD work” 2 Timothy 3:10 CSB
KNOW GOoD-DO GOOD
In his book, Dr. Amen stated that we should always carry the “then what” question with us. O.K....… THEN WHAT?...after my physical body is done…
“train yourself in godliness, for the training of the body has a limited benefit but godliness is beneficial in every way, since it holds promise for the present life and also for the life to come.” From 1 Timothy 4:7-8 CSB
So for the most beneficial training, we need to strive to not just DO but BE…
KNOW GOoD stive to BE GOoDLY which will train you to DO GOOD
To BE GOOD , your GOOD DEEDS must be rooted in faith grown by knowlege-
“…supplement your faith with goodness, goodness with knowledge,

and brotherly affection with LOVE.” (2 Peter 1:5 CSB)
