How can I make my brain function better?
Research shows that using your muscles also helps your mind.
Animals who exercise regularly increase the number of tiny blood vessels that
bring oxygen-rich blood to the region of the brain that is responsible for thought.
Exercise also spurs the development of new nerve cells and increases the
connections between brain cells (synapses). This results in brains
that are more efficient, plastic, and adaptive, which translates into better
performance in aging animals. Exercise also lowers blood pressure, improves
cholesterol levels, helps blood sugar balance and reduces mental stress, all of
which can help your brain as well as your heart.
