Have you tried brushing your teeth, using a mouse, or drinking soup with your non-dominant hand? This idea, which may seem ridiculous at first, actually has many advantages.
The preferred hand is connected to the opposite side of your brain; The right hand is connected to the left brain, the side responsible for language, judgment and intelligence. The left hand is connected to the right brain, the side responsible for creativity, perception and empathy. As a result, since our hands are directly connected to our brain, we can also stimulate our brain by activating our hands.

If we take a look at some famous people who can use both hands; The list includes names such as Albert Einstein, Mahatma Gandhi, LeBron James, Adam Levine, Benjamin Franklin, Leonardo Da Vinci, Nikola Tesla.
Using the other hand from time to time instead of the hand that is used constantly, strengthens memory, prevents brain laziness, and reduces the risk of Alzheimer’s. Although task sharing is not half, the fact that both sides are active from time to time is perfect for creating new pathways in the brain by integrating the two hemispheres of the brain better. So how can we advance our friendship with our other hand?
