GROW BRAIN CELLS THROUGH MEDITATION

While most workouts affect the body, a meditation workout affects the brain, and grows new cells. Past research has shown that meditation enables people to control their negative emotions and develop positive ones, leading to less stress and a stronger immune system. New research, conducted at UCLA, and published in the journal “NeuroImage,” has shown that meditation actually increases brain matter, developing new brain cells and connections.

When the researchers conducted brain scans on non-meditators, they found that the meditators had larger brain mass in the hippocampus region and areas within the orbitofrontal cortex, the thalamus, and the inferior termporal gyrus – all regions known for regulating emotions.

A good start might be to dismiss negative thoughts or grudges against another person and replacing them with positive ideals of growing in grace, new hope and new learning.
