Some very interesting information about ways to exercise your brain is found in the book, How God Changes Your Brain, Breakthrough Finding from a Leading Neuroscientist, by Andrew Newberg, M.D. and Mark Robert Waldman. One fact that caught my attention is, that numerous neurochemicals are involved in yawning, including dopamine. Dopamine activates oxytocin production in the brain, which improves many things, such as relationship bonding between individuals. Even when you fake it, yawning affects so many things. Experiment and you'll see after faking a yawn eight to twelve times you begin to have a real yawn. The authors give us 12 Essential Reasons to Yawn.

1. Stimulates alertness and concentration

2. Optimizes brain activity and metabolism

3. Improves cognitive function

4. Increases memory recall

5. Enhances consciousness and introspection

6. Lowers stress

7. Relaxes every part of your body

8. Improves voluntary muscle control

9. Enhances athletic skills

10. Fine-tunes your sense of time

11. Increases empathy and social awareness

12. Enhances pleasure and sensuality
