On November 24, 2025, Radiant Super Speciality Hospital, in collaboration with SDF Primary School & Junior College, Amravati, hosted an inspiring Health Awareness Session titled “Mind Gym: Train Your Brain Like an Athlete”. The session was conducted by Dr. Sikandar Adwani, Senior Neurologist (MBBS, MD, DM – Gold Medalist), who engaged the audience with his profound insights into brain health, neuroplasticity, and mental performance.
Highlights of the Session
Dr. Adwani drew a fascinating parallel between athletic physical training and mental fitness, emphasizing that just as muscles strengthen with consistent exercise, the brain too thrives on regular cognitive challenges and healthy habits. He explained how modern neuroscience supports the concept of “mental workouts” that enhance focus, memory, emotional regulation, and overall cognitive resilience.
Key takeaways from the session included:
- Neuroplasticity in Action: How the brain can reorganize and strengthen neural connections through learning and positive habits.
- Daily Brain Fitness Routines: Simple, evidence-based techniques like mindfulness, reading, creative problem-solving, and social interaction to boost mental agility.
- Lifestyle and Brain Health: The crucial role of sleep, balanced nutrition, and physical activity in maintaining optimal brain performance.
- Stress Management: Practical strategies to handle emotional fatigue and maintain neurological balance.
Engagement and Participation
Students, teachers, and parents participated actively in the session, posing thoughtful questions and sharing personal insights. The interactive discussion helped bridge the gap between medical science and everyday life, making complex neurological concepts accessible and relatable.
Dr. Adwani’s Message
“Your brain deserves the same discipline and dedication that an athlete gives to their body. When you train your mind consciously, you build not only intelligence but resilience, empathy, and creativity.”
Dr. Sikandar Adwani
Outcome
The Mind Gym session left attendees motivated to adopt mindful routines that enhance both brain and emotional well-being. Participants expressed gratitude for the engaging format and valuable takeaways that could be implemented in daily life.
