For many years we believed that the brain of an adult was incapable of generating new brain cells. That is to say, we thought that we were born with a certain amount of brain cells and that we could never have more. In addition, we believed that when we began to lose them brain functions would decrease. However, according to the knowledge we have today, brain cells do regenerate, although not everything is that easy, because regenerating brain cells implies that we must follow certain social and dietary regimes. Here are some ways you can do it:
Blueberries are blue due to the anthocyanin dye, a flavonoid that will help you produce neurogenesis.
Dark chocolate is a factor that contributes to longevity and that causes new neurons to be created.
Cognitive stimulation increases neurogenesis of the hippocampus. What does this mean? This means that you need to keep your brain engaged to learn new social skills and interact with other people.
Eat foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids: avocados and fatty fish such as tuna, salmon, herring and sardines promote the growth of neurons. You can also choose flax seeds or linseed oil, chia seeds and nuts.
Exercise and look for options that you like to do it. For example, maybe you do not like going to the gym but you love dancing, or maybe your thing is not dancing, but traveling by bicycle will enchant you.
Sex is effective in replenishing neurons in the brain, so do not underestimate the power of active and healthy sexuality.
Specifically, the epigallocatechin gallate compound or EGCG found in green tea is an element that has been linked to the growth of new brain cells.
When your body is exposed to natural sunlight, it produces vitamin D. Vitamin D increases BDNF levels in the brain, and this helps produce new cells.
The thing is that you are well, in a pleasant and happy environment, to be able to establish yourself as a total individual. If you do that, your brain will be able to produce new cells and therefore your aging will be retarded, especially brain aging.
