The Metamorphosis of the Mind
Prologue Before the world begins to change around us, the most profound revolutions occur within. In the deepest chambers of the mind—where fears whisper, dreams flicker, and memories fold into silence—true metamorphosis takes place. This is the story of a man who, in forgetting who he was, learned who he could become.

Screen time is slowly frying your Brain
Dementia, an umbrella term is referred to many neurodegenerative disorders characterized by memory loss, cognitive decline, and impaired reasoning. It is increasingly prevalent due to aging populations worldwide. Alzheimer’s disease is the most common form of dementia, accounting for 60–80% of cases worldwide. A growing body of research suggests that lifestyle interventions, particularly physical exercise, can play a crucial role in reducing the risk of cognitive impairment. However, there is currently no definitive treatment for dementia. From a neuroscientific point of view, exercise has a variety of positive effects on brain structure and function that can help prevents dementia. A key player in neuroplasticity is Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF), a protein that supports the survival of existing neurons and encourages the growth of new ones.
