Yes, it's true. Exercise can help your brain stay sharp. According to research, not only does regular exercise increase blood flow to the brain, which also increases its access to oxygen and nutrients, it can also help to slow down cognitive decline.
According to a study by Joseph Michael Northey, Nicolas Cherbuin, Kate Louise Pumpa, Disa Jane Smee and Ben Rattray, "Physical exercise improved cognitive function in the over 50s, regardless of the cognitive status of participants. " Other research suggests that regular exercise can encourage brain cell growth, improve mood, boost creativity and decrease stress. Perhaps it can even delay the onset of dementia. In today's society, it's easy to become sedentary. However, instead think about the benefits of getting up off the sofa, stepping away from the computer and getting out in nature. Just take that morning walk or evening stroll. Get on the bike (on the road or stationary). Go dancing. Or enjoy low-impact exercises like doing Tai Chi, or going for a swim. Any exercise is better than none at all. Do it for your brain! Now, if you will excuse me, I've got some walking to do. Thanks for reading!
