Hey there, amigos! Ever wondered if our brain cells can bounce back like a superhero after stress hits? A recent health talk revealed an eye-opening fact: excessive stress – whether physical or mental – can lead to the breakdown of nerve cells, known as neurons.
Professor Fan Dongsheng, director of the Department of Neurology at Peking University Third Hospital, explained that unlike many other cells in our body, neurons typically cannot be replaced or regenerated once they're damaged. That means every bout of intense stress may be taking a toll on your brain’s power cells. 😮
But don’t stress too much about it—in the same way our favorite heroes train to overcome challenges, there are ways we can protect our brains. Simple habits like taking regular breaks, practicing mindfulness, and tuning in to music or a good laugh can help keep your nervous system in check. 💪🧠
