Did you know? That knitting, and crochet are used as pain killers.😮
Oh it’s true. When you knit and crochet it activates both stored, and current memory.
Which means you’re actively exercising your brain.
These fiber arts use multiple parts of your brain to complete these tasks, often at one time. This overload of information to process, means the brain has to forget about something. In this case it’s pain, but it can also be grief, depression, anxiety, or who knows.
This has shown to help prevent Alzheimer’s by 30%!
It doesn’t stop there. They’re some of the only crafts you can do no matter your age, health, strength, sight, or hearing.
Most people who start these fiber arts, will feel an almost immediate rewarding sensation. After completing just one row, it’s already coursing through your veins.😂
Our brain respond really well to creating with our hands. This is why most people can’t stop doing things, it’s literally in our nature.
So next time you’re down, or in pain. Try picking up some yard, and a needle. You’ll probably surprise yourself!❤️
