💡 Happy Saturday: Did you know that your brain generates enough electricity to power a small light bulb? And as research continues to show, the connection between your brain and body is even stronger than we thought. So by taking care of your physical health, you can improve your mental well-being and vice versa.
So make today a day to move and nourish our bodies, and have a break to give our brains the love they deserve.
And here are a few more fun facts about the mind-body connection to get you inspired!
> When we smile, even if we’re not feeling happy, it sends a signal to our brain to release feel-good chemicals. Keep smiling, it’s good for you!
> Your brain uses about 20% of your body’s energy, even though it only makes up 2% of your body weight. Keep that powerhouse fed with healthy food and exercise!
> Listening to music can activate the same pleasure centres in your brain as food, drugs, and even sex! So put on your favourite tunes and enjoy the natural high.
> When you exercise, your brain releases chemicals called endorphins that help reduce stress and improve your mood. Get moving and feel the positive effects on your mind and body!
> Laughter is contagious because it triggers the brain’s mirror neurons, which simulate the actions of others. So spread some joy and laughter today!
Have a wonderful weekend.
