Neuroplasticity means the brain continues to generate new neurons & synapses throughout life, helping the brain heal from injuries. KEY ACTIVITIES TO INCREASING NEUROPLASTICITY INCLUDE: Physical Exercise Learning New Skills Increase BDNF (Brain Derived Neurotrophic Factor) Good Nutrition Sleep Intermittent Fasting Brain Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF) is one of the key proteins that promote the survival, development and function of neurons. BDNF promotes neuroplasticity, the repair and generation of new neurons as well as supporting healthy telomerase activity.
