"If you don't use it, it gradually worsens"... 6 ways to keep your brain young

The brain constantly evolves. There are research findings indicating that depending on how it is used, it is continuously modified, improved, or deteriorated. Ultimately, if the brain is left unused, it will lose its excellent functions without ever having the chance to utilize them. In relation to this, based on information from American health and medical media such as 'Everyday Health,' we explored ways to keep the brain in good condition.

Exercise regularly

 

As we age, the production of brain cells slows down and brain tissue gradually decreases in size. However, regular exercise can reverse these aging phenomena. According to research, regular exercise increases blood flow to the brain, enhancing oxygen supply, which significantly enlarges brain tissue.

 

Eating fish frequently

 

It is good to eat fish at least twice a week. If you are a vegetarian, you can take fish oil supplements. According to research, people who eat fish frequently show increased intelligence in language and spatial visualization. The healthy fats found in fish are known to increase blood flow to the brain, similar to exercise.

Fight inflammation

 

When inflammation occurs in the body, toxins, infections, and harmful oxygen also follow. According to research, any type of inflammation is associated with lowering intelligence levels by negatively affecting mental functions. Omega-3 fatty acids and antioxidants found in food have the ability to combat inflammation.

 

Meditation

 

People living in modern times live their lives as if they are being chased by busy schedules with no time to even open their eyes and nose. The various thoughts and worries constantly filling their minds affect their reasoning and other brain functions. Meditation is one of the ancient methods that revitalizes the mind and enhances cognitive function.

By practicing meditation through quiet and focused breathing techniques, you can free yourself from various activities and thoughts. Consistent meditation helps maintain a deep state of calmness in the mind, which can improve brain functions such as concentration and memory.

 

Stress relief

 

According to a research team at the University of California, USA, repeatedly experiencing stress can lead to a reduction in the hippocampus, a brain region involved in long-term memory. Additionally, to keep the mind consistently sharp, it is necessary to combat the aging caused by stress.

To prevent aging phenomena related to stress, it is important to create stress 'disruptors' in daily life. For example, taking about five minutes of rest once a day and doing absolutely nothing during this time to calm the mind is recommended.

 

brain exercise

 

Like other parts of the body, the brain also needs exercise to stay healthy. Solving challenging but fun puzzles like crosswords or Sudoku, or reading books, stimulates the brain and improves its efficiency.

 

============

Seeing actress Oh Yeon-su.

Buy a Sudoku book directly instead of a cellphone.

 

They say they do it every day.

It's good for brain exercise.

 

Keep your phone away and buy a book.

It's also a way to do it..

 

Counting numbers... Reading signs along the walking path.

They say it's good for brain exercise.
