How To Keep Your Brain Healthy

Keep Your Brain Healthy

 
Since the 40 years neurons reduced the volume and the connections between them but born new neurons throughout life, especially in the area of the brain devoted to learning and memory but you would have to stimulate them.

Our brain has more than 100 billion neurons and reaches the mature age to the age of 30, and from here begins to get older.

To delay the aging, the researchers proposes some tips in addition to postpone the arrival of diseases such as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's disease or senile dementia.

Recommendations for a healthy brain

1.- Eat less
Eating  more than we need increases the oxidative stress of the organism that attacks the proteins, lipids, DNA and the brain. Less food power the production of new neurons in the hippocampus which is the region responsible for learning and memory, increases the synapses, and favors the mechanisms of neuronal repair.

2.- Do sport regularly
"Health mind in health body". When we are practicing sport regulary and continued, segregate substances that affect greater the brain plasticity and enhancing the synapses between neurons that is the key to learning and memory.

3.- Make mental exercise every day
Do not sit on the sofa watching the hours, we have to stimulate the mind with challenges such as learning a new language.

4.- Travel much
Travel essentially requires learning, memorizing, acquire new perceptions and memories. The routine is harmful for the brain. Travel generates many emotions that is what's really driving our neurons.

5.- Living accompanied

6.- adapt to the changes
Adapting also involves taking the times. If we isolate ourselves, if we thought, "I am already very greater for this",we get stressed emotionally.

7.- Avoid the chronic stress
Chronic stress releases constantly glucocorticoid hormones that directly affect the brain. The best way to counter it is to practice sport.

8.- Not smoking
Smoking  can produce small cerebral infarcts. Nicotine reduces the memory and produces atrophy and neuronal death in addition to increase oxidative stress in the brain.

9.- Sleeping well
We need between 7 to 8 hours of restful sleep each night to ensure that our brain can erase the unnecessary information and strengthen the knowledge learned. Also repair damaged tissues.

10.- Avoid the blackout emotional
Motivation, enthusiasm and emotion is what pushes us to be in the mood for live, is the engine that pushes us to want to remain alive.

11.- Gratefulness
To thank is one of the most beautiful human gestures that uniting who give  thanks and who receives the gratitude. We have to thank, give, create new ties and leave behind ballasts that are the cause of tensions, anxiety and grief.

12.- The small things
You need to enjoy the small things without creating us needs.

13. Play mind games
For optimize your neuro-brain, you can play games commonly called "Mind Games" such as: Crosswords,Checkers,Backgammon,Chess,Go,Hex,Sudoku,Scrabble,Wari,Bridge.,etc
