Improved Brain Health

In 2017, Frontiers in Human Neuroscience published a scientific study about the preservation of brain tissue. It was found that brain-derived neurotrophic factor proteins were increased by 300% as result of practicing yoga. Low levels of Brain-derived neurotrophic factor proteins (BDNF) have been linked to stress, depression, Parkinson's and Alzheimer's/Huntington disease. Yoga may help preserve brain tissue.
