Vaping introduces nicotine quickly into the bloodstream. Initially, nicotine improves mood concentration, relaxes muscles, decreases appetite, and decreases feelings of anger or stress. Doesn’t sound too bad. Over time, however, vaping increases the risks of addiction, mood disorders, and reduction of impulse control. Vaping can lead to changes in the brain in those areas governing memory, attention, and learning. One way to get a lot of the same benefits is to read. Reading for 30 minutes daily can improve memory, concentration, and sleep, reduce stress, and may also help reduce the risk of developing Alzheimer’s Disease. #buildingbrightbrains #SUPMedway #brainboost

According to MacLean’s Hospital, studies have debunked that adolescents can be kept safe if they learn to drink alcohol under adult supervision. This includes in Europe, where rates of adolescent binge drinking and alcohol misuse are higher than in the US. Whether supervised or not, teenage alcohol use inhibits the production of GABA, which is associated with impulse control, and better decision-making. Adolescent alcohol use also inhibits verbal learning between binge drinking episodes. If you want to help your adolescents regarding alcohol, help them mature into responsible decision-making instead through behaviors that help with growing GABA production in the brain. This includes activities like aerobic exercise and meditation. Also, try facilitating new experiences since adolescent risk-taking is associated with “leaving the nest” preparation. As a parent, you may want to try and model some of these things yourself. #buildingbrightbrains
