Dhru Purohit Show

NOTE

Growing the Hippocampus, Sense of Purpose, and Brain Health

Growing the hippocampus can be achieved within 12 weeks through efforts such as diet, exercise, sleep, stress reduction, and having a sense of purpose in life. People with a sense of purpose are less likely to get Alzheimer's disease and have more resilient brains. Having a sense of purpose means being clear about what you want to accomplish and what brings you happiness. It's important to align your daily activities with what you enjoy to improve your state of mind and brain health. Studies have shown that engaging in enjoyable activities can prevent brain shrinkage. Finding what you enjoy and making an effort to align your life with those activities can lead to a happier and healthier brain.
