Free and accessible ways to optimize your #brainhealth: * Contact with #nature - The practice of #forestbathing has been linked to better physical and #mentalhealth including lower blood pressure and cortisol levels. * Social connection - Loneliness is a risk factor for poor health outcomes including premature mortality. Social #connection has been shown to improve #healthoutcomes and workplace productivity. * Movement - Moderate movement - for example, #walking - increases levels of brain derived neurotrophic factor, promoting the growth of new brain cells. Since the cortisol released during high intensity exercise might counteract the effects of BDNF, it is recommended to incorporate moderate #movement as part of a well-rounded fitness plan. * Environmental health - Indoor plants can help improve our #wellbeing. It's important to remember to intentionally take breaks from the stress!

https://lnkd.in/dzd_G8Vb Should Surgeons Be Vocal Advocates? ABSOLUTELY! Surgeons are not just LEADERS in the operating room, but also have a critical role to play in ADVOCATING for BOTH their PATIENTS and THEMSELVES. CHAMPIONING CHANGE: SURGICAL ADVOCACY IN ACTION Surgical advocacy tackles a wide range of important issues. Let's highlight three Key areas: Supporting Women in Surgery: 1.Maternity leave policies and access to lactation rooms in workplaces are crucial for ensuring breastfeeding surgeons can continue to provide exceptional care while balancing the demands of motherhood. 2.Resident Well-being: Excessive work hours can lead to burnout and impact patient safety. Advocating for reasonable work schedules for residents in training is essential for their well-being and future success. 3.Mental wellness for Surgeons: At the forefront of every surgery is a Mere Mortal, A Surgeon and his (her) operating team members. These people need to be taken care of at most times. They need psychosocial support in the decisions they have to make and the journeys they face with their patients. By speaking up and advocating for positive change, surgeons can create a more conducive environment for everyone involved in surgical care. WHAT ONE STEP WILL YOU TAKE? Surgical advocacy starts with YOU. Here are some ways to get involved: Join a surgical advocacy organization. Reach out to your local representatives and voice your concerns. Mentor and support aspiring surgeons, particularly women in surgery.
