Human Brain Need Vacation

Artikel-bahasainggris.blogspot.com - Doing the same routine every day will lead to


saturation and the brain can not work optimally. There are 4 reasons that make the human
brain needs a vacation.

A study conducted by the Families and Work Institute found that doing a vacation like
going to museums or the beach nearby is important for the brain.

Here are 4 reasons that make the holiday becomes important for the brain, as quoted
from Myfoxorlando.com:

1. Improve Memory
Dr. Russell Poldrack as director of the Imaging Research Center at the University of
Texas at Austin said the holiday will provide a new experience, this condition will
make the brain responds by releasing dopamine into the hippocampus (part of the
brain that creates a memory or memories). This will improve memory and help
protect against Alzheimer's disease.
2. Enhance creativity
American and French researchers found the holidays can increase the ability to
solve problems, raise awareness of the connection is lost and to encourage people
to try something new. This is because vacation facilitate the mind's creativity.
3. Sharpens concentration
Researchers from the University of Pittsburgh reported that people with serious
health conditions tend to take less time thus increasing the levels of stress
hormones. Poldrack said when someone is tired, then the prefrontal cortex will be
overwhelmed due to the amount of stress hormones and makes one lose focus or
concentration.
4. Provide rest time
The study found 2-3 days after the holiday people will have a rest time and a
higher quality sleep, it can even be increased to 80 percent. Quality sleep can improve
memory and brain health.
