Neural Training with Scents Yesterday, we talked about the effects of different smells on the brain, but also in general, more smells in life is a great idea!
Why? The brain needs quality "food" to be productive.
So pleasant sounds, landscapes, hugs or variety of movement, different smells are good for the brain and these are all food for it. As you walk, you can pick a plant leaf at a time, rub it and study how it smells. That way you'll add olfactory training to your regular walk!
Not only does olfactory training improve your ability to distinguish odors, but it also stimulates global
neuroplasticity processes (
making neural connections).
Studies show that olfactory training improves verbal abilities even more than sudoku solving.
