Yes, meditation can be a valuable practice for improving brain health.
Research, such as a study by Chiesa and Serretti in 2010, suggests that regular meditation can lead to improved cognitive functions like attention, memory, and executive control.
Meditation is believed to stimulate brain regions associated with these functions and reduce stress, which can have a detrimental impact on cognitive abilities. While individual results may vary, incorporating meditation into your routine may contribute to better cognitive health and overall well-being.
