As you age, you naturally start to lose brain cells. So, basically, that means that after you hit twenty-five, it all goes downhill in terms of brain function.
The good news is that scientists have now shown that growing new brain cells, or neurogenesis, is possible for adults.
In this process, new brain cells or neurons are created in the hippocampus. This region of the brain is responsible for storing long-term information, learning, and regulating emotions.
Here are six things you can do to encourage neurogenesis and help grow new adult brain cells:
- Get plenty of sleep
- Try intermittent fasting
- Follow a healthy diet
- Indulge in dark chocolate
- Get moving
- Exercise your brain
Keep Your Brain Sharp and Healthy!
