Tips For Improving Brain Memory And Thinking Skills

There are plenty of good reasons to be physically active. Big ones include reducing the odds of developing heart disease, stroke, and diabetes.

Maybe you want to lose weight, lower your blood pressure, prevent depression, or just look better.

Here’s another one, which especially applies to those experiencing the brain fog that comes with age: exercise changes the brain in ways that protect memory and thinking skills.

Direct Benefits:

• To reduce insulin resistance, and reduce inflammation.

• Stimulate the release of growth factors: the chemicals in the brain that affect the health of brain cells, the growth of new blood vessels in the brain, even the abundance and survival of new brain cells

Indirect Benefits:

• Improve mood and sleep, and reduce stress and anxiety. Problems in these areas frequently cause or contribute to cognitive impairment.

How much exercise is required?

• Walked half an hour of moderate physical activity most days of the week, or 150 minutes a week.

• Swimming, stair climbing, tennis, squash, or dancing, and household activities are useful for brain exercise.
