Gymnastics is useful to do not only to strengthen the body, but also for enhanced brain training. More precisely, for memory, abstract thinking, development of imagination, prevention of atherosclerosis, to reduce depression. And not only! Neurobic was invented by two Americans. It's the writer Menning Rubin and the neuroscientist Lawrence Katz. They proved that with the systematic execution of the same work, it becomes increasingly difficult for a person to focus on a new matter, teaching material or problem. The same type of occupation leads to a drop in concentration of attention and a weakening of memory. As a result, mental abilities decrease, since the connection between nerve cells (neurons) of the brain worsens.
Why is neurobic useful for the brain? Previously, scientists believed that damaged nerve cells are not restored as a result of emotional experiences. And if they are restored, it is very slow. Under normal conditions, this is exactly what happens, but this process can be accelerated. As physical loads in combination with proper nutrition accelerate muscle growth, so regular mental trainings speed up the process of recovery of nerve cells many times. It is for this that the gymnastics of neurobic has been developed.
On the one hand, neurotic exercises do not require evening trips to the gym and exhausting workouts. You can do gymnastics for the brain in any situation and at any time. You can restore the neurons of the brain by standing on the stove, on the way to work, at lunch time, relaxing in a chair and even taking a bath. But on the other hand, it will be necessary "to move the convolutions." The brain must constantly surprise, make the "gray matter" work differently. The essence of neurobics is precisely this: change the usual course of events, literally in all actions to bring novelty. What you have done day after day without hesitation, will have to do differently. It turns out that the most effective stimulate the brain, memory, attention to unusual actions.
Change hands
A very simple exercise for the brain is an elementary change of hands. It is enough to start with your left hand (for left-handed people - right) to brush your teeth, button up the button on your shirt, and type on the computer keyboard. Such exercises activate the motor cortex of the right hemisphere. And this has a beneficial effect on non-standard thinking and creative abilities.
Moving to the touch
Another exercise is moving in a space that is familiar, with your eyes closed. This may be an apartment, an entrance, a working room, etc. Thus, the sensory areas of the brain become activated, which in normal life are little used or do not work at all. This is a very good gymnastics for the brain. It dramatically activates the work of neurons.
Constantly changing
Do not be afraid to change the image. Sometimes it's useful to wear new unusual outfits, experiment with makeup, change hair color and hair style. In this case, the effect of "high heels" for women or "jacket effect" for men is triggered. Together with new sensations comes a new way of thinking.
Deviation from the route
Go to work on the same road, past the same buildings is unsafe. A habitual route dulls the perception of reality. Therefore, it is useful to change our routes daily to work, to a store, to study. Try to travel or go to work the other way, even if the path is a little longer. In my spare time I have to visit exhibitions, museums, shopping centers. And it's desirable to travel to new places. This is how spatial memory develops.
Change all places
It is good to regularly update the interior in the office and apartment, weekly to rearrange things at home and on the desktop. Update the wallpaper on your desktop computer. Cooking at home new dishes and try in restaurants unfamiliar exotic dishes. Do not interfere with experiments with perfume. These exercises neurobicas help people to dramatically activate all the senses. The novelty in sensations stimulates the sensory inputs of the brain, the associative memory becomes stronger.
Speak figuratively
Try asking "what's new?" ", "how are you? "Do not respond with banal phrases. Refuse from this moment from stereotypes, meaningless, empty answers. Come up with new answers every time. Come up with new jokes, remember jokes, and necessarily share them with friends. You stimulate these exercises with neurobiks in the left temporal region of the brain - the Wernicke zone, which is responsible for understanding the information - and Broca's center, which is responsible for communicating.
With these simple exercises you can begin to get acquainted with neurobia, a kind of gymnastics for the brain. And gradually move on to more complex techniques.
