This process is called neurogenesis. It is responsible for the production of completely new neurons, equipped with the appropriate nerve connections. Rebuilding cells in the brain and creating new neural connections is possible, but the conditions must be favorable.
This can be promoted by ensuring daily adequate physical activity and a healthy diet.
Psychoactive substances, smoking and excess alcohol should all be avoided.
Let's all be responsible for ourselves, that is, have common sense.
Let's not stress ourselves and take on more than our body tolerates, because it destroys the brain and eventually the whole organism.
When we are exhausted, let's give ourselves the to rest.
Let's not try to save the whole world.
Let's only do it when asked to do so.
Let's learn to take a break that will regenerate us quickly and focus on breathing and meditation.
These methods are brilliant for regenerating the brain and have whole body positive effects.
Remember, however, that it is important to systematically work on the hygiene of the brain, which affects the whole body.
What you think is important and even how you think.
Remember to always try and retain a positive outlook on life.
The brain weighs about 1.5 kg and has a volume of about 1.5 liters.
It consumes as much as 20% of the body's energy, although it accounts for only 2% of the human body. Your brain makes a million new connections between its neurons every second of your life.
It has 85-100 billion neurons, and each neuron can make up to 10,000 connections with other nerve cells.
The neuron is about 0.1 mm in diameter, but its length can be up to several meters.
Almost 80% of the brain is water. As a result, it has a jelly-like consistency.
Lack of sleep and fatigue make us unable to function efficiently, making the simplest decisions a problem, and the brain, instead of operating at top speed, functions slowly, at impaired efficiency and with errors.
How Sleep Affects Your Brain
The better you sleep at night, the better your brain will function, and the better you’ll feel. Learn about what goes on in the brain while you rest, the negative effects of sleep deprivation, and steps to help ensure a good night’s sleep.
Sleep is essential.
You can't function or survive without it.
While your body is resting, your brain is a flurry of activity.
It organizes the day's events and files them into storage so you can easily retrieve them later.
It also catches up on housekeeping, clearing away wastes that build up during the day.
The more deeply you sleep, the more effective your brain is at cleaning itself.
Adults typically need seven to nine hours of sleep for maximum brain performance, but many of us don't get it.
Too little sleep negatively affects your ability to remember and concentrate.
It can also make you moodier and more irritable and increase the risk of anxiety and depression.
In addition, going too long without sleep has similar effects to being drunk, impairing judgment and performance, and increasing the risk of accidents and injuries.
Over time, a lack of adequate sleep may also increase the risk of dementia.
To ensure you're getting enough sleep, practice good sleep hygiene.
Put away electronic devices an hour before bedtime and do something relaxing.
Go to bed at the same time each night and wake up at the same time each morning.
Avoid stimulants like caffeine in the late afternoon or evening and alcohol and heavy meals before bedtime.
Keep your bedroom quiet, cool, and dark, and try to get in at least 30 minutes of moderately intense exercise on most days, which can improve both sleep and your overall health.
The better you sleep at night, the better your brain will function and the better you'll feel.
If you want to learn more about the functioning of the brain, exercises can be found in the book "Your Guide to positive life ‒ Brain gymnastics for adult" author Katarzyna Dorosz in Amazon or Barnes Noble or Ebay.
