What’s the most transformative thing that you can do for your brain today? Exercise! Apart from its well known benefits, exercise also has amazing benefits for the brain which accelerates information processing and overall brain health!
While exercising, oxygen saturation and angiogenesis (blood vessel growth) occur in areas of the brain associated with rational thinking and as well as social, physical and intellectual performance.
Exercise drops stress hormones and increases the number of neurotransmitters like serotonin and norepinephrine, which are known to accelerate information processing.
It upregulates neurotrophins (brain-derived neurotrophic factor, insulin-like growth factor, and basic fibroblast growth factor)which support the survival and differentiation of neurons in the brain.
Research also suggests that regular exercise can increase the size of the hippocampus and prefrontal cortex, both of which are susceptible to neurodegenerative diseases such as dementia and Alzheimer’s.
So while exercising won’t completely prevent or cure normal cognitive decline in aging, doing it consistently can help reduce or delay the onset!
Keeping a diet rich in nutrients which also nourishes our neuron in parallel to exercise can produce better results!
