The following has miniscule editing for 'pop-out' clarity:

. . . brain health and cognitive fitness program involves lifestyle changes.
Researchers at Harvard Medical School have identified six cornerstones to any effective brain health and cognitive fitness program.

Step 1: Eat [more the better of] a plant-based diet

Step 2: Exercise regularly

Step 3: Get enough sleep

Step 4: Manage your stress

Step 5: Nurture [Nurturing] social contacts [vs. toxic] . . . 4 and 5 seemingly '80%-ish' the same in regards to negative social contacts ?

Step 6: Continue to challenge your brain [through GTD 'emptying'?]

The article continues: These factors are equal parts of a cohesive plan—they don't work in isolation.
Simply eating more fiber or adding a morning walk to your routine isn't enough to forestall mental decline. Instead, exercise, diet, sleep, stress management, social interaction, and mental stimulation work in concert to yield results.


Those with cognitive reserve . . . perhaps via GTD as a means of not holding 'ideas' for amplified cognitive reserve . . . are better able to stave off symptoms of degenerative brain changes associated with dementia or other brain diseases, such as Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis, or a stroke.

A more robust cognitive reserve can also help you function better for longer if you're exposed to unexpected life events, such as stress, surgery, or toxins in the environment. Such circumstances demand extra effort from your brain—similar to requiring a car to engage another gear.

Well said. I track 2, 3 & 4 using the Oura ring. It’s a game changer to finally get to data points and understand what’s affecting those. Recently Oura launched ‘Cardiovascular age’, this new functionality combined with ‘Resilience’ tracking give users new insights.

@Y_Lherieau,

What is are you measuring in particular regarding Sleep and Stress ?

Are you finding Sleep and Stress tracked data vary's relative to Diet, Exercise, aw well as appropriate-&-inappropriate Social engagements?

Thank you very much
 
The Oura ring measures several key indicators related to sleep and stress. For sleep, it tracks metrics such as total sleep duration, sleep stages (light, deep, and REM sleep), sleep latency, and sleep efficiency. Additionally, it monitors resting heart rate, heart rate variability, and body temperature to provide a comprehensive picture of your sleep quality.

Regarding stress, the Oura ring primarily assesses stress levels through heart rate variability (HRV), which is a reliable indicator of how your body is responding to stress. It also tracks your resting heart rate and body temperature trends to offer insights into your overall stress levels.


Yes, the data collected by the Oura ring can indeed vary relative to diet, exercise, and social engagements. For example:

  • Diet: Poor dietary choices can lead to disrupted sleep patterns and higher stress levels, while a balanced diet can improve sleep quality and reduce stress.
  • Exercise: Regular physical activity generally promotes better sleep and helps manage stress, although intense exercise close to bedtime might negatively impact sleep.
  • Social Engagements: Positive social interactions can enhance sleep and reduce stress, while negative or inappropriate social engagements may have the opposite effect.

By analyzing the tracked data in relation to these factors, you can gain valuable insights into how your lifestyle choices impact your sleep and stress levels.

If I have a too heavy diner or if I train too late at night, my sleep and activity scores will be negatively affected next morning when I check my data.

Daily stress is reported via a curve showing over time if I am in restore, relax, engage or stress mode.

@Y_Lherieau,

Very, very in interesting

Does it actually pick-up objective bio-data that is telling you who in your social circles are mutual good and those who are stress-inducers, toxic, etc.

Currently reading an amazing-&-mind blowing book to better assess relationships; BASIC LAWS of HUMAN STUPIDITY by Historian Economist, Carlo Cipolla, to improve oneself, social interactions, and healthier distancing

Ninety-nine year-old Charlie Munger who recently passed (R.i.p.) was adamant in avoiding narcissist/toxic people . . . he was right to the point without ant sugar-coating: keep them out of your life

Simply passing on to you as comprehensive appreciation for your kind follow-up

Thank you very much

As you see GTD fit. . . .
 
Thank you for your thoughtful response.

The Oura ring doesn't directly identify specific individuals who might be beneficial or harmful to your well-being. Instead, it measures objective bio-data related to your overall health and stress levels, such as heart rate variability, resting heart rate, and body temperature. These metrics can help you understand how different interactions and activities affect your stress and sleep quality.

However, by analyzing patterns in your data, you might notice correlations between your well-being and your social interactions. For example, you may observe increased stress levels or poorer sleep following certain social engagements, indicating that those interactions might be less beneficial for you.

Additionally, the Oura app has a functionality called "Circles," where you can share high-level data such as sleep and readiness scores with selected other users. This feature can help foster mutual accountability and support within your social circles.

Moreover, the Oura ring offers a download functionality that creates a comprehensive report, compiling months of data, which you can share with medical staff for detailed health assessments.

The book you're reading sounds fascinating and seems like it offers valuable insights into understanding and improving social relationships. It's great to hear about Charlie Munger's perspective on avoiding toxic individuals, which aligns well with prioritizing one's mental and emotional health.

Thank you for sharing this comprehensive appreciation and the additional insights from the book. It's always a pleasure to exchange such valuable information.
