There are numerous health benefits of exercise. It prevents chronic diseases like diabetes, maintains a healthy body weight, strengthens your heart, and protects muscle strength.
However, exercise also benefits the brain. Numerous studies have revealed that those who exercise have greater volumes in the brain regions responsible for thinking and memory than non-exercisers. One discovery is that a program of consistent, moderate-intensity exercise over a period of six months or a year is linked to an increase in the volume of particular brain regions.
By enhancing mood and sleep quality and lowering stress and anxiety, exercise can also indirectly improve memory and thinking. Cognitive impairment is often caused by or exacerbated by issues in these domains.
Is there a better exercise for brain health than another? Since nearly all of the studies conducted to date have focused on walking as a form of exercise, we are unsure of the answer to this question. “However, it’s possible that other vigorous aerobic exercises could provide comparable advantages,” says Dr. Scott McGinnis, an assistant professor of neurology at Harvard Medical School.
