Exercising regularly ramps up blood flow to the brain, improving nutrients and oxygen supply and satisfying the energy needs of the brain
Spending time in the gym triggers neurogenesis or forming new neurons and fosters neuroplasticity or making new neural connections which improves learning and memory
Exercising promotes growth factors production in brain, which help protection and repair impaired nerve cells
Our brain has chemical sensors to detect stress. When we exercise, the number of these sensors reduces, thereby reducing the impact of stress
Exercise promotes the production of irisin hormone in muscles, which helps clear brain plaques, in turn slowing Alzheimer’s progression
