Mindfulness and Moderation Matter
Long-term alcohol consumption can lead to serious brain diseases, and even moderate drinking disrupts sleep patterns, resulting in superficial sleep which negatively affects overall brain health. A diet high in processed foods and a lack of novel experiences can harm cognitive function. Additionally, mindfulness practices, such as meditation, significantly enhance brain plasticity and improve the function of the prefrontal cortex, which is crucial for focused attention, thereby promoting beneficial brain changes in long-term practitioners.
