According to the Brain Foundation, exercising and challenging your brain is one of the top pointers for a healthier mind. However, pinpointing one single 'best' thing for the brain is misleading, as optimal cognitive function relies on a combination of factors, including nutrition, physical activity, and mental stimulation.

In Ayurvedic philosophy, foods are categorized into three 'gunas,' with Rajasic foods specifically known for their stimulating effect on the body and mind. But what are Rajasic foods good for beyond just a quick boost, and how can they support an active lifestyle while maintaining balance?

Research indicates that following a brain-healthy diet, such as the MIND diet, can be associated with a cognitive function that is the equivalent of being 7.5 years younger in age. So, **what is the healthiest thing you can do for your brain**? The answer isn't a single action, but a holistic combination of nutrition, exercise, and mental care.
