Mindfulness practices can improve attention and cognitive abilities from "summary" of Mente afiada by Sanjay Gupta

Mindfulness practices, such as meditation and deep breathing exercises, have been shown to have a positive impact on attention and cognitive abilities. By engaging in these practices regularly, individuals can sharpen their focus and enhance their mental clarity. When we practice mindfulness, we train our brains to be more attentive and present in the moment. This heightened sense of awareness allows us to better control our thoughts and emotions, leading to improved cognitive function. Studies have shown that individuals who engage in mindfulness practices have better memory retention and faster reaction times compared to those who do not. Furthermore, mindfulness practices can help reduce stress, which is known to impair cognitive abilities. By calming the mind and reducing anxiety, individuals can think more clearly and make better decisions. This can result in improved problem-solving skills and overall mental performance. Incorporating mindfulness practices into daily routines can also have long-term benefits for brain health. Research suggests that regular meditation can increase grey matter in the brain, which is associated with improved learning and memory. Additionally, mindfulness has been linked to a decrease in age-related cognitive decline, suggesting that it may help maintain cognitive function as we age.
