Meditation Found To Increase Brain Size

People who meditate grow bigger brains than those who don't. Researchers at Harvard, Yale, and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have found the first evidence that meditation can alter the physical structure of our brains. Brain scans they conducted reveal that experienced meditators boasted increased thickness in parts of the brain that deal with attention and processing sensory input.

It is also known that men have larger brains than women, although scientists have not been able to determine what the extra capacity is used for. Many women are wondering about this, too. :roll:

Recent research confirms that walking has highly beneficial effects for mind and body, helping to develop upright posture, balance, coordination, orientation and other fundamental sensory-motor activities.
