body giving us the most feedback get the most attention. Because

of our improved longevity, this is a major oversight, as the brain

controls everything the body does. We all know the brain controls

cognitive areas like memory, thinking, and focus. When these

functions are strongly supported, the implications on our lives

are tremendous.

Julian Allan, lead researcher and health psychologist, concluded

“A person with less-efficient executive function is less likely to
