Neurobics is the term used to describe a set of mental exercises that
give your brain a ’workout’. It involves using all five of your senses:
sight, sound, touch, taste and smell. Regular exercising stimulates the
growth of new neuronal connections in various parts of the brain,
strengthens your nerve cells and promotes the production of brain
nutrients that improve memory.
We here at
Bright Side want to share these simple,
yet very useful exercises with you. By doing this brain workout every
morning, you will improve your physical and emotional state in no time.

Scientific studies have shown that using the non-dominant hemisphere

How to do it: simply brush your teeth with your
non-dominant hand — and don’t forget to use the same hand for opening
the tube and applying toothpaste as well.
