I recently came across an article from last year that is worth sharing.
It describes “8 Fascinating Things We Learned About the Mind in 2015” written by
Carolyn Gregoire. While a couple of items would certainly constitute “no-brainers,”
several of them are quite startling.
1. Smartphones are wildly distracting (constantly looking at a screen is detrimental).
2. Psychedelics may be the next big thing in mental
health care (there is a
renaissance in psychedelic research for psychiatric purposes).
3. Pollution is worse for the brain than we realized
(exposure to air pollution is
associated with neurodegenerative diseases.)
4. The brain and immune system are actually linked
(there is a direct connection between the brain and the body's immune system)
5. Erasing memories could be the future of addiction
treatment (mind hacking can
help with permanent memory erasure)
6. Nature does the mind good (there are mental
health benefits to spending time outdoors)
7. To boost your mood, boost your bacteria (increasing
healthy bacteria in the stomach can improve health)
8. Good sleep is critical to a healthy emotional
life (healthy amounts of sleep can improve emotional intelligence).
For more details on these discoveries, see the website below.
