Neuroplasticity

This term refers to the discovery in recent years that the brain is actually malleable throughout the lifespan and we have the ability to grow new neural connections.

This has tremendous implications for our mental health and anything that has to do with human training, both hopeful and detrimental.

The research is becoming more and more clear but has been finding that the brain is not static and will respond to new learning.

A Mayo Clinic study of 487 healthy adults aged 65 and older demonstrated that with cognitive fitness training, older adults more than doubled their auditory processing speed (a 131% gain.) This translated to improved memory and attention. NaturalNews.com

Below is a great video briefly describing the concept of neuroplasticity.



So what does this mean for you?

Anything that you would like to improve upon in your life, you can!! The only requirement is that you may have to search for the right coach, chiropractor, doctor, and/or other quality of life professionals.
