I have recently learnt that brushing your teeth with the opposite hand can be very stimulating for the brain and create new neuron connections. That sounds quite interesting and decided to give it a go and to share it with you guys.
While I don’t feel my IQ has drastically increased just yet, here’s the science behind this fact…
A creativity boost
The right hemisphere of the brain is linked to creativity. Experts say that using the “wrong” hand stimulates both hemispheres of the brain, instead of stimulating only our dominant hemisphere, which is what happens when we use our dominant hand. And this applies whether your dominant hand is the right or the left one
Studies have shown that being able to use either hand to perform one task, as simple as brushing our teeth, makes us more spontaneous and creative, while reducing our inhibitions.
Are you ready for the challenge?
Can also be applied to using the remote control or your phone with the opposite hand…
