The Skin - Brain Connection

Today I found at the internet the very interesting article "Brain Aging: the Truth is Skin Deep' from the Neurobiologist Dr. Douglas Fields. In his article he writes that new research draws a link between aging of the skin and aging of the brain.

The reason is simple and can be explained with biology. Skin and brain age in similar ways because the cells of both tissues develop from the same embryonic tissue, which is called ectoderm.

Wrinkles are in my opinion mainly caused by stress and not only by the sun. Stress is actually also involved in 95% of all health problems and one must do anything possible to reduce the stress level. Might be that genes and stress have to come together. I am not the greatest believer in genes. They show a weakness but perhaps the stress has to happen too.

Not everybody has the patience or the time to meditate daily and therefore I really love Reconnective Healing. Research has shown that it brings the brain back into a balanced state ... calmness is the first what clients notice.

Being in nature, walking in the forest or at the beach is also very calming. Walking in groups might bring a physical benefit but it is not as calming as when one walks alone.
