Can you brush your way to a sharper brain? Well, potentially

Using your non-dominant hand for activities like brushing your teeth can stimulate brain function by engaging neural pathways less frequently used. Neha Cadabam, senior psychologist and executive director at Cadabams Hospitals, explains, “The theory behind this practice lies in neuroplasticity, the brain's ability to adapt and form new neural connections.” Simple changes to routine tasks promote cognitive flexibility and mental agility, fostering creativity and problem-solving skills. These small yet impactful habits highlight the brain’s adaptability, enhancing cognitive sharpness.
