Man is a perfect but not infallible machine and that is why taking care of mind and body is not only useful but necessary. Attention to the physical is now very widespread, the same cannot be said of mental “gymnastics”, also called neurobic. In order for the brain to remain efficient, it is therefore necessary to train it. And, surprisingly, you don’t have to spend a lot of time doing this. To ensure proper daily brain gymnastics, it may be enough to just change some of your routines. For example, changing the place you choose at the table or the hand with which you brush your teeth. In fact, everyone has a “dominant” hand and anyone who tries to brush their teeth with the other hand will have a surprise.
Why does alternating hands to perform daily gestures help stimulate the brain?
A gesture repeated daily becomes almost completely automatic. Like changing the gears of the car or the way the table is laid. Forcing our brain to leave the “automatic pilot” is an excellent exercise for our brain. That’s why even just changing the hand with which we brush our teeth can bring many benefits to our life. To say it are studies and sector research. Just a few years ago, the University of Zurich published a study in the journal Neurology precisely on this issue.
The study sampled a group of right-handed people who were forced to use the other arm due to a fracture. From brain resonance analysis, the researchers found that after just two weeks, the amount of gray and white matter in the right hemisphere (which controls the left side of the body) had increased to nearly 10 percent.
In short, even a simple gesture like Brush your teethcan greatly affect our health. This is especially true for those who try to brush their teeth with the other hand: you will have a surprise.
