It’s great to know that, regardless of our age, regular exercise produces brain cells. Yet further still, regular exercise also produces the insulation which covers brain cells.
Have you identified the repeated words above? Yes, they are ‘regular and exercise’. If exercise is not carried out regularly, the insulation may not be as thick or as good quality to that of a person whom is regularly active. Imagine the brain cell as being the electrical wire to a bedside lamp. If the wire has thin or frayed insulation, its connection to the light bulb can cause the light to flicker. The same applies to the brain cell. If the insulation is thin or damaged, its electrical connection to another brain cell can be slow and misguided, causing our thoughts to be flickered.
In addition to diseases such as multiple sclerosis, thin or damaged insulation can be caused through excessive use of recreational drugs and alcohol. Unfortunately, if the insulation is severely damaged the underlying brain cell will die. Yet there is hope. Again regardless of our age, we learn, and can learn to carry out new exercises. The new learning improves the connections of the remaining brain cells and by regularly repeating the exercises it makes the insulation thicker. All in all, this allows faster and more accurate electrical connections of the brain cells which enable:
· Increased speed and precision of thoughts
· Greater security of stored information
· Minimal risk of stored information being corrupted
· Improved recall of memories
