Last Week: Week 11, 4/15: Nutrition for the Brain 

We have learned about the importance of diet on the functions of the brain, both in neuron connectivity and in brain plasticity. We also realize how difficult it can be to be consistent in making the right nutritional choices.  Not often is there an immediate reward signal generated in our brain for eating healthy like there is when one consumes a sugary, salty, or fatty treat, which is unhealthy. 

This Week: Week 12, 4/22: Sleep

Sleep is not merely a period of rest but a fundamental pillar of health and well-being that warrants our attention and care. Let us embrace the importance of sleep and cultivate habits that nurture restful nights and rejuvenated days.
