The article from the Times of India discusses the surprising benefits of chewing wood, specifically from the twigs of certain trees like neem or licorice, on brain health and memory. It highlights that this traditional practice, common in various cultures, can stimulate cognitive functions. Chewing wood releases compounds that may enhance memory, focus, and overall brain health. The article explains that the physical act of chewing increases blood flow to the brain, potentially aiding in neurogenesis and the release of beneficial neurotransmitters.
