Strengtheningmental health is a enormous industry. Just do a easy Google search and you’ll realize literally millions of results. But do you realize that the science behind modern neurology is very young? Like a 100 years young? And that’s not even taking into account the new finding of neuroplasticity (your brain’s capacity to alter) – a finding that transformed what how scientists see the brain and the birth of brain exercises and memory exercises.
In this article, I wish to reveal 2 things that many people fail to do when it comes to maintaining and strengthening their mental health. Since the science is so new, don’t be shocked if even experts omitted these. Here we go.
1. You might by now realize that brain exercises would boost brain functions. This is because when approached by a challenge, your brain alters and become stronger, just like your muscles. But do you realize that there is a necessary ingredient that scientists take for granted? When challenges were presented to 2 batch of rats – 1 in a group with regular social interaction and the other group in isolation, the results were completely inconsistent. The rats in groups have more neurons – as predicted – but the brains of the rats in isolation actually become smaller! Yes, brain exercises can improve your mental health, but this is true only assuming that you have usual social interaction.
2. You might not know this however open space has an enormous influence on your psychology. A research was once ran by John B. Calhoun, again on rats. When space was plentiful, the rats behaved as foreseen in a utopian world he place them in. But as they breed and space became scarce, he observed erratic changes in the rat’s behavior. Girls hold off to reproduce and became more and more hostile while guys became alienated and stopped courtship. Lonely confinement has much been used as a torture means therefore don’t use it on yourself. Go out to an open space, preferably out of town, at worst once a week. You will love the feeling.
