 Issue #66 I July 7, 2025  Engin Akyurt   Welcome to The Mindset by Super Age. This week, we’re tuning into the power of connection between our bodies, our minds, and even our dreams. We’re exploring the hidden network of tissue that powers our movement and affects our emotional health. We’re diving into how the foods we eat influence our dreams. We also look at how certain art practices are not only calming but can ground us in belonging. Plus, a favorite summer salad recipe. Whether you’re seeking fresh ways to support your vitality or craving soulful connection, this issue offers practical insights and inspiring ideas to nourish your longevity journey. Let’s dive in!   Fascia is your body’s incredible web of connective tissue. Think of it as the fabric holding you together, with ten times more nerve endings than all the nerves controlling your muscles combined. Once overlooked as inert, fascia is now recognized as a living organ essential for movement, posture, and even emotional health. Healthy fascia supports flexibility, strength, and resilience, helping you move with ease as you age. As we age, changes in fascia are increasingly linked to stiffness, pain, and mobility loss, which is why maintaining healthy fascia is associated with flexibility, reduced aches, and improved vitality. Caring for your fascia is emerging as a vital strategy for aging well and living actively. We dive into this fascinating aspect of vitality and share how to keep it happy, supple, and healthy.   Have you ever had weird dreams after a late-night snack, especially something cheesy? It’s a common experience for many, but until recently, the scientific evidence connecting food to dreaming has been pretty thin. A new study in Frontiers in Psychology from dream neuroscientist Dr. Tore Nielsen and his team took a deep dive into the relationship between what we eat, how well we sleep, and what we dream about. Their findings suggest that what you put on your plate in the evening might actually shape the quality of your sleep and the nature of your dreams. They unpack which foods disrupt sleep and trigger vivid, unsettling dreams, and which eating habits predict more pleasant dreams.
