Let’s dive into a little science of the brain.
Normally, the human brain consists of white (60%) and gray (40%) matter which plays an important role in healthy cognitive functioning. While you are alive, the gray matter is pink in color because of the continuous flow of blood in the cells. This grat matter is responsible for learning skills, memory, interpreting things, and the sense of sight, hearing, smell & touch. Additionally, it affects muscle control & self-awareness.
On the other hand, white matter makes connections to send and receive signals as the internet. It coordinates your thoughts with your movements. In general, both white and gray matter complement each other to think, coordinate movements, and interpret the things surrounding you. All your cognitive abilities get affected if any of the two gets damaged or reduced.
Practicing Yoga not only helps you in achieving brain-boosting benefits but also changes your brain structure in some notable ways. Yoga Asanas can help you stay physically healthy but your mental health is equally crucial.
