Safeguarding Young Minds: The Risks of Contact Sports and Health Tips from Dr. Daniel and Tana Amen

Your brain is actually not finished developing until you're about 25 years old. Here we have kids in the height of brain development and we're allowing them to do things that hurt their brains. It's really stupid.
Is letting your kids play contact sports worth the risk? In this episode of The Brain Warrior's Way Podcast, Dr. Daniel and Tana Amen tackle this pressing question. They dive into why contact sports might not be the best choice for young, developing brains and offer safer alternatives like golf, tennis, and table tennis. But that's not all—they also discuss how conditions like ADD can affect impulse control and how inflammation plays a role in Alzheimer's disease.
With practical advice on anti-inflammatory diets and lifestyle changes, this episode is packed with insights to help you make smarter health decisions for your family. The Amens highlight the vulnerability of children's brains, which continue to develop until about age 25, making them particularly susceptible to injuries. Protecting your child's brain today could mean a healthier, happier future. Tune in to get the full scoop on how to keep young minds safe and thriving.
