It takes more than crossword puzzles to keep a healthy brain!

Combine mental and physical exercise

We have all heard that mental exercises can help memory and problem-solving that our brains healthy and fun sport.

What the researchers found that exercise not only hold good for the heart and general circulation, but also contributes significantly to the young brain.

As a provider of professional services that dealThe challenges that we need people as well as the data that the brain power to do our work efficiently.

Human Studies came after studies with rodents

After earlier studies in rodents show that those animals that much time is spent in the production of wheels better exercise the brains of sedentary rodents had begun studies in humans.

Less shrinkage of brain tissue

Scientists have measured maximal oxygen consumption (a measure of aerobic capacity) in 55 subjects during walking andTreadmill test. They used those with fitness level of physical inactivity in the Peak Performance Fitness. The subjects were less physically fit to age-related brain shrinkage than those who are inactive.

Aids Research In RM

With the help of MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging), researchers have found that the brain tissue that was significantly altered for memory, learning and implementing the ideas in the mind very differently in different subjects. (Frontal, temporal andparietal regions)

Decrease can begin the Middle Ages

These skills are those that already fall in middle age to start, especially in new situations. Studies have shown that increased physical activity may help prevent middle-aged, or delay the onset of diseases such as Alzheimer's or Parkinson's. Alzheimer's is the most common cause of dementia, in which there is a marked decline in brain function and memory.

The researchers found that the combination of strengthThe training with aerobic exercise for a minimum of 30 minutes had the greatest impact on cognitive function. (University of Illinois)

school children are not getting enough exercise

What concerns me is how the brain of the computer and video game generation to be influenced by lack of exercise. It is estimated that nearly half of young people aged 12 to 21 This intense physical activity regularly. Less than a quarter of children are always at least half an hourany type of daily physical activity at school. School children spend playing an average of 4.8 hours a day at computer games, television or video.

Increase the exercise of all ages would be a great resource for us all. Healthy increase productivity and the brain full commitment to what we do. Combining exercise with memory activities are the best results for a healthy brain.
