Remember to give your brain a vacation! Doctors suggest that daze can prevent brain fatigue, can daze rest brain

You know what? There are many advantages of being in a daze. It can not only prevent brain fatigue and release pressure, but also improve the cognitive ability of the brain and stimulate your creativity.

According to neurosurgeons, in the past decade, the number of middle-aged patients aged 40-50 who come to the clinic for consultation on amnesia has increased significantly.

The main reasons are work pressure, children's education and supporting parents.

In addition, the ubiquitous information in the Internet age leads to "brain fatigue". A British survey found that people watch their mobile phones every 6.5 minutes on average, check them 150 times a day, and work "burns the brain". Apart from sleep, the brain can hardly rest.

In this regard, the National Health Commission has jointly launched the "China health knowledge dissemination incentive plan" project, one of which is "leave yourself five minutes in a daze every day.".

What is the effect of daze?

Protecting the brain

When in a daze, the consciousness activity of human brain weakens, isolating oneself from the outside world, controlling and reducing the internal pressure, and keeping oneself in a relaxed state temporarily are good mental adjustment means.

Help brain improve cognition

In a daze, our brain is not "immobile". Marcus reichelli, a neuroscientist at St. Louis University in Washington, found that when people are in a daze, brain areas related to memory, such as the hippocampus and medial prefrontal lobe, are more active. These brain activities can help organize and digest a lot of information, and make our cognitive function more effective.

It's relaxing and enjoyable

Empty, people seem to lose thinking, the whole world solidification, the atmosphere is quiet, people will be calm. At the same time, when in a daze, people's breathing will slow down and the secretion of stress hormones will decrease, which will help people stabilize their emotions.

Stimulate creativity

A study from Tohoku University in Japan found that daze can increase white matter activity and enhance creativity. The white matter of the brain is composed of nerve fibers, which are responsible for transmitting signals between nerve cells. Active white matter means to be able to see the connection between things more clearly and think of ways that you can't think of.

Think about life better

FMRI data show that when we are in a daze, the brain area responsible for concentration will calm down, while the brain area responsible for memory, evaluation and imagination will become more active. That is to say, in essence, daze is thinking about life.

So, don't always stretch your mind so tight, think too much, deal with too many problems, receive too much information... Your brain will be tired, too. Maybe it's better for your mood, work and body to take a day off.
