How to keep the brain dynamic and effective at all ages is the theme analyzed by Alessandra Graziottin in the sixty-fifth issue of Focus Salute. The professor, an expert in gynecology and oncology, offers insights on how to stimulate neuroplasticity, a fundamental capacity of the brain.
Stimulate neuroplasticity
Graziottin discusses the brain’s “regenerative, repairing, and expressive capacity” and how to prevent “brain rot,” a deterioration of the brain caused by toxic lifestyles. Emphasis is placed on the need to adopt practices that support mental and physical health.
Importance of motor skills
Another crucial point is the potential for motor competence, which represents one of the first allies of neuroplasticity. The professor analyzes the neurobiological and motor bases to promote a healthy and efficient brain, touching on aspects of the Central Nervous System, the Visceral Nervous System (“gut brain”) and the Peripheral Nervous System.
Living life with energy
The goal is clear: to live with “bright physical and mental energy,” from birth to 100 years old. The professor offers valuable insights to improve the quality of life and maintain a healthy brain throughout life.
