Body and brain are tightly connected, and your mental state can affect your body as well.
A new study shows that calming down can help your body relax way faster.
Let's find out more.
A strong connection
In a breakthrough study, researchers at Washington University School of Medicine have discovered anatomical connections in the brain that link movement control with thinking and bodily functions.
This finding challenges the long-held belief in a strict separation between the body and the mind.
In fact, you can basically tell your body to relax when needed - buy only if you know how to do that, of course.
And you can also improve your mental health with physical exercises.
Breathing exercises actually work
The study sheds light on phenomena such as the calming effect of breathing exercises and the positive impact of exercise on mental outlook.
The findings highlight the importance of holistic approaches that address both the body and mind for overall well-being.
The research opens up new avenues for understanding the relationship between physical and cognitive functions in the brain.
