Make Your Brain Function a Decade Younger - ONE thing you CAN Do!

What if you could make your brain feel ten years younger-without fancy supplements or expensive retreats?

I absolutely love reading research on this topic, especially as I’m about to celebrate my 59th birthday this year (ouch, but also yay!).

The latest study from the University of British Columbia, published in PNAS Nexus (March 2025), says the answer is surprisingly simple.

Drum roll…

block the internet on your phone for just two weeks!

Really?

Yes!

Here’s why it works:

Constant internet access bombards us with endless notifications, distractions, and choices.

This drains two of your most precious, non-renewable resources: attention and time.

In the study, participants who blocked mobile internet saw their screen time drop by over 50%. Their ability to focus improved so much, it was like rolling back the clock on their brains by a decade.

But it gets better:

🧩 91% of people reported improvements in mental health and attention span.

🧩 Many spent more time socializing, exercising, and enjoying real life-hello, blue sky instead of blue light! What a great 'unintended consequence.'

🧩 The boost in focus and well-being was comparable to the effects of cognitive behavioral therapy or even antidepressants.

So, if you want to reclaim your brain’s youthful spark, try a digital detox: block the internet on your phone, even for a short while. Your attention, your time, and your brain will thank you.📱

I have never (and yes, never is a strong word, but it’s true for me!) connected my mobile to my emails. Sometimes it’s inconvenient, but it definitely reduces my screen time and distractions.

Now, I’m inspired to block the internet on my phone for two weeks. Whoop whoop for mental vitality!
