Doodling
Doodling enhances brain health by improving focus and memory retention, as it engages the brain’s default mode network, helping to process and organize thoughts. It also stimulates creativity and problem-solving skills, promoting neuroplasticity and reducing stress by providing a meditative, calming effect.
Gardening
Gardening supports brain health by reducing stress and promoting mindfulness through exposure to nature, which helps lower cortisol levels and enhance cognitive function. Additionally, it involves problem-solving, coordination, and sensory engagement, stimulating neuroplasticity and reducing the risk of cognitive decline.
Art
Creating art enhances brain health by stimulating multiple cognitive functions, including problem-solving, spatial awareness, and emotional processing, which promote neuroplasticity and mental agility. Engaging in artistic activities also reduces stress and boosts mood by increasing dopamine production, helping to protect against cognitive decline and improve overall well-being.
