Memory Monday

Did you know?

Exercise is just as good for your brain as it is for your body.

Aerobic exercise raises your heart rate which increases blood flow to the brain. Your breathing increases also, which pumps oxygen into your bloodstream and travels to the brain. Because of this, more neurons are produced (neurogenesis) in the parts of your brain that control memory and thinking.

It is also noted that exercise promotes the production of neurotrophins, which helps increase brain plasticity. This leads to better memory and learning!
