A research from the University of Pennsylvania says that the simple act of yawning is one of the best things you can do for your brain. In fact, Andrew Newburg calls yawning "one of the best-kept secrets in neuroscience". Besides its more well-known benefits, a good yawn may help you to wake up, solve a difficult problem, relax, prepare for sleep, and reduce feelings of anger, stress, and anxiety. Newburg says that you should always yawn before doing a challenging task, such as public speaking or taking a test. And you should even yawn while praying or meditating because it may intensify the spiritual experience.Learn some mo': Yawn for Brain Health
I became intersted in seeing what yawning did/does for the human body because I saw a intersting comment on Facebook that said "yawning it actually cools down your brain so it doesn't 'melt'" (I know!) So it got me thinking "Holy crap!, is that true?" and I was wording if you knew/know anything about if this has any truth in it at all. After all it IS Facebook.
