How to Stimulate Brain Enhancement in Adults

The brain is still capable of growing new neurons as you age. However, if the brain is not kept active and healthy, your memory can gradually decline. There are various ways to stimulate brain enhancement in adults. As people age, just like any part of the body, the cells in the brain start to weaken. Fortunately, you can reverse the effects of neural breakdown. The brain can reshape itself if you continue to stimulate it with different types of activities.

Instructions

• 1

  Exercise your brain and body regularly to stimulate neurons, which are new brain cells. Exercising your body physically helps to increase oxygen to the brain, as well as preserve brain cells. You can exercise the brain by simply switching the hand that you normally use. For example, if you normally use your right hand to do tasks, switch to the left hand. Use the left hand to do things such as brushing your teeth, dialing the phone, or using the computer mouse.

• 2

  Get adequate sleep to stimulate brain enhancement. Adequate sleep is needed in order for the brain to form memories, as well as process knowledge. Lack of sleep can compromise certain abilities such as problem solving, creativity, and critical thinking skills.

• 3

  Control stress in your life by practicing relaxation techniques such as meditation and yoga. Find time to engage in leisure activities with friends. Watch a funny movie, take a walk in the park, go shopping or sightseeing.

• 4

  Learn a new skill to help stimulate your brain. Learning new skills enhances your memory, as well as help the cells to communicate with each other. Try new things such as learning a new language, starting a new hobby, changing careers, learning a new dance, or learning to play a musical instrument.
