Brain matter can, indeed, be regenerated. Scientists and experts have found, through the ages, several ways by which one can reboot and recharge the brain. An optimally-functioning and healthy brain makes for a healthy overall physical composition.

There is the active ingredient called carnosic acid (CA) that prevents stroke, Alzheimer’s disease, as well as slows down aging. Alpha-lipoic acid and acetyl-L-carnitine are two chemicals that boost the capacity of mitochondria, the cells’ power sources. Curcumin, found in turmeric, boasts of strong antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.

May people swear by the effectiveness of the Omega-3s fatty acids DHA and EPA that is mostly found in fatty fish and walnuts. Again, these are brain boosters that ward off brain degeneration such as Alzheimer’s disease. They also help prevent depression.

Physical exercise has long been proven to regenerate neurons. Stress proteins are activated, thereby stimulating the regeneration of brain and muscle cells. Exercise that is considered fun and relaxing can result in even better neuronal regeneration.

Stress-reducing exercise such as meditation helps the brain. On the other hand, chronic stress shrinks the regions of the brain involved in learning, memory, and mood. Stress pounds heavily and adversely on body cells, particularly those in the brain, resulting in poor capability of the body to heal wounds, avert atherosclerosis, and lower blood pressure.
