EXERCISE GOOD FOR BRAIN
Moderately intense physical activity especially aerobic exercise like brisk walking and running, can perhaps lead to improvements in cognitive functions like attention, reasoning and decision making. Surveys show that people who are physically active throughout their lives are less likely to experience cognitive decline later in life. And those who exercise regularly are less likely to develop Alzheimer's disease. Exercise can improve blood flow in the brain and also releases feel-good brain chemicals such as endorphins. Exercise may increase the size of some areas of the brain or, at least, slow their rate of decrease as we age. Even modest increases in physical activity can be beneficial to your brain. Aim for at least 30 minutes of exercise 5-6 days a week.
