Read what we learned when we talked to award-winning journalist and surgeon drsanjaygupta about lifestyle changes you can make right now to improve your overall brain health 🧠:
: In the book, you say that experiences drive brain plasticity. Given that lower income people may tend to work more repetitive jobs and have less opportunity to travel and spend leisure time, can you talk about the socioeconomic disparities with brain health?: These disparities exist, and I don't think we can deny that. It is harder for people who have repetitive jobs who can't do things that would inspire this neurogenesis [the growth of new brain cells] that I'm talking about.
But if you just flipped everything around and started doing that all with your left hand, that is an example of something that inspires neurogenesis that doesn't require time — you're already eating, obviously. So there are different ways to think about this. There is a perfect sort of way to eat, there is a perfect time to eat, there's a perfect amount of activity. All of that exists, but we have not really individualized care that way. We've just thought about it in this shotgun mentality, everyone sort of treated the same. That's changing in medicine.
So isolation and loneliness are not necessarily the same thing. But having said that, there's no question that connection is protection, and there's a physiological basis to that. We release these hormones such as oxytocin in response to connection, and oxytocin is a very protective hormone. It helps decrease the surges of the stress hormones and kids need it for brain development.
