Fun fact!
Sleep doesn’t only give you energy, boost your metabolism, and help with weight loss…
🔥 Sleep is essential for neuroplasticity 🔥
Neuro what? (you may be asking)
Neuroplasticity means that our brain cells have the ability to reorganize and create new connections—like rewiring.
It’s how people recover function after a stroke or a traumatic brain injury, and it’s also how we train the brain for optimal function as we age 🧠
Research shows that during sleep, microglia become active in the brain, repairing damage, making new connections, and supporting neuroplasticity.
💫Pretty awesome if you ask me.
Are you interested in optimizing your brain function as you age?
👉Just remember that sleep should be part of the strategy.
