Enhancingmental health is a huge industry. Simply do a easy Google search and you’ll realize nearly millions of results. However did you know that the science behind modern neurology is fairly immature? Like a 100 years young? And that is not even taking into account the latest finding of neuroplasticity (your brain’s capacity to modify) – a finding that altered what how scientists see the brain and the birth of brain exercises and memory exercises.
In this article, I am going to reveal two things that most individual fail to do when it comes to retaining and enhancing their mental health. As the science is so new, don’t be surprised if even experts omitted these. Here goes.
1. You may already understand that brain exercises will improve brain functions. This is because when presented with a challenge, your brain adapts and become stronger, just like your muscles. However did you know that there is a necessary elements that scientists took for granted? When challenges were presented to two batch of rats – 1 in a group with usual social interaction and the other in isolation, the results were completely contrasting. The rats in groups have numerous neurons – as imagined – however the brains of the rats in isolation actually become smaller! That’s right, brain exercises could strengthen your mental health, although this is true only providing that you have usual social interaction.
2. You may not know this but open space has an extensive influence on your psychology. A study was once carried out by John B. Calhoun, again on rats. When space was sufficient, the rats behaved as foreseen in a utopian universe he place them in. However as they reproduce and space became scarce, he observed unpredictable changes in the rat’s behavior. Females hold off to reproduce and become more and more hostile while males became withdrawn and ceased courtship. Lonely confinement has much been employed as a torture means therefore don’t use it on yourself. Go out to some open space, preferably out of city, at least once a week. You’ll enjoy the feeling.
