REJUVENATE PHYSICALLY AND MENTALLY Spring is a great time to incorporate in-season foods into everyone’s diet, and there are two that are fantastic for the brain. When thinking of spring, think spinach and strawberries. The brain loves B vitamins for energy and mood, and spinach is chock full of B vitamins. Plus, strawberries are one of the best foods for the brain because of the antioxidants that have been shown to keep the brain sharp. IMPROVING MOODS Studies have shown that proper lighting can have a positive impact on moods. Smart colorful lighting can add excitement to any room, special occasion or help anyone relax and get to sleep after a stressful day. Thanks to GE branded Cync smart lighting, choose from millions of colors to help the sleep-wake rhythms spring forward with the recent time change. Cync light bulbs and strips are easy to install and use. Plus, the intuitive Cync app can control the lighting and all other Cync devices in any home.
