Brain Regeneration
It is a commonly held misconception that the brain is beyond repair. Even the medical establishment has asserted that once we kill brain cells, they are gone forever. The fact is, the brain can repair itself, and as science is now proving, there is real benefit to simple practices that can help keep our brains sharp and elastic throughout our lifetime.
Good news, the brain regenerates itself like most of the body after illness, where it is not life threatenting.

Rewriting the Story of Brain Health
The field of cognitive neuroscience is
relatively new — only around one hundred years old — so it’s no surprise
that we are constantly arriving at a newer and better understanding of
how the neural circuitry of the human brain supports overall brain
functioning.
For most of those one hundred years, it
was believed that once damaged, the brain could not regenerate. Brain
cells were finite, and any loss or injury would be suffered as a
deficiency for the rest of that person’s life. This created a false
belief that the brain is essentially in a perpetual state of decline.
