Enhancingmental health is a enormous industry. Just do a simple Google search and you will discover literally millions of results. Although did you know that the science behind modern neurology is very young? Like a 100 years young? And that’s not even taking into account the latest uncovering of neuroplasticity (your brain’s capacity to transform) - a finding that altered what how neurologists viewed the brain and the birth of brain exercises and memory exercises.

In this post, I want to tell you two things that most folks fail to do when it comes to keeping up and boosting their mental health. As the science is so new, do not be surprised if even professionals omitted these. Here goes.

1. You may already realize that brain exercises will strengthen brain functions. This is because when approached by a challenge, your brain changes and become better, much like your muscles. Although did you know that there is a necessary elements that scientists take for granted? When challenges were presented to two batch of rats - one in a group with regular social interaction and the other in seclusion, the end results were quite inconsistent. The rats in groups had more neurons - as foreseen - however the brains of the rats in seclusion actually become smaller! That’s right, brain exercises can strengthen your mental health, although that is true only supposing that you have normal social interaction.

2. You may not realize that but open space had an enormous effect on your psychology. An experiment was once conducted by John B. Calhoun, again on rats. When space is plentiful, the rats behaved as foreseen in a utopian natural world he place them in. Although when they breed and space became insufficient, he seen unnatural changes in the rat’s behavior. Females refuse to reproduce and became more aggressive while guys became alienated and ended courtship. Lonely restriction had much been employed as a torture tool therefore do not use it on yourself. Go out to some open space, preferably out of town, at worst once a week. You will enjoy the feeling.
