Enrique Canchola Martínez, a Mexican scientist specializing in neuroscience, has highlighted the benefits of poetry for physical and mental well-being.
According to Canchola, poetry can have a significant positive impact on mental health by allowing for the creative expression and processing of emotions.
This can help release deep feelings and improve self-knowledge
In addition, Canchola mentions that poetry can activate brain regions associated with language, emotion, and creativity, which can generate positive emotions and a sense of well-being
He also notes that poetry can increase levels of neurotransmitters such as dopamine, endorphins, and enkephalins, contributing to a sense of pleasure and reward.
In summary, Enrique Canchola considers poetry to be a powerful tool to improve both mental health and physical well-being
Some of the benefits of poetry according to Canchola are:
a) Stress reduction: the rhythms of the word can calm the mind and reduce stress.
b) Poetry can evoke a wide range of emotions, which can help process difficult feelings and improve mood.
c) Reading and creating poetry involves different areas of the brain related to language and creativity.
d) Poetry facilitates the connection with one’s own emotions and with the experiences of others, fostering empathy and understanding.
e) Writing poetry allows you to express thoughts and feelings that are normally difficult to express verbally.
I hope these benefits of poetry stimulate you to start reading, writing or reciting poetry.
