Mastering Neuroplasticity for Optimal Brain Health
I decided to give up alcohol for three months after the Christmas holidays back in 2021 to rewire my brain.
The longer one goes without alcohol, the more chance one can recover from the substance if it's stopped for some time.
Astonishingly, the average adult brain weighs approximately 3 pounds and has roughly 100 billion neurons. Each neuron houses two extensions, a dendrite and an axon.
Neurotransmitters are chemical messengers that transmit messages from the two extensions to the synapse interface, making communication in the brain possible.
In addition, due to synaptic pruning, synapses that are not used will eventually disconnect. In contrast, those used will build stronger connections and help you rewire your mind for more fulfilled experiences.
