Play for adults is critical in our stressful go-go-go lives. Play has been shown to release endorphins, improve brain functionality, and stimulate creativity. And it can even help to keep us young and feeling energetic. Studies show that play improves memory and stimulates the growth of the cerebral cortex. Play has also been shown to trigger the secretion of BDNF, a substance essential for the growth of brain cells.One of the things that may often stop us from playing is that we, as adults, get very set on who we are and the types of activities that we do and do not like. Listen to today’s episode to learn more about the power of play.Recommended Books:
