Exercise is an area of research where the positive impact on brain health is undeniable.
- Exercise improves the flow of oxygen throughout our body, which in turn, benefits both the body and the brain, including memory.
- Exercise has been shown in repeated studies to provide our brains with ‘fight’, some researchers describe this fight as ‘reverse aging’.
- Exercise creates an overall feeling of well-being through the release of ‘feel good’ chemicals. (neurotransmitters).
- Exercise increases the number of dendrites in the brain. Dendrites are extensions of our nerve cells. Their job is to receive electrical impulses from other cells and then communicate those messages to other parts of the brain.
