Healing the modern brain

Well paced and interesting. Our brain is fascinating. The author describes how it might thrives if we take good care of this wonderful machine of ours. Several tenets are part of the right mix, I could not mention all of them on top of my head but there are nature, purpose, sleep, a total of 9.

We see that people’s environments also play an important role in how they feel and how they interact with the world around them. The field of epigenetics, or the study of how our environments change how our genes are expressed,means that our DNA is not our health destiny. We have the power to make vital lifestyle changes that can quite literally change the way our bodies read genetic code, determining which genes are expressed and which are silenced.

With the right balance, our brain gets challenged and grows and all this contributes to a fullfilled life.
