Fwd: Boosts Your "Noggin" in 20 Minutes, Helps Stop Brain Shrinkage

What promotes brain health?  Is it  drug?  Is it food?

No it is an activiity. It is exercise like biking.

Exercise does the following:

l.  It promotes the production of BDNF brain derived neutropic factors, which induces stem cells of neurotransmitters to produce more neurons;   thus brain shrinkage is prevented.
 

                

2.  Exercise suppresses the bone production of BMP - bone morphogenic factor.  Apparently, slows production of new brain cells.

 

                              Picture of Noggin from Wikipedia

3.  Exercise also causes NOGGIN a brain protein that is antagonist of BMP  The more NOGGIN produced, the less BMP activity.

4.  Other benefits of exercise:

          l.  More blood flow to the brain leading to

          2.  More nutrients and O2 going to the brain and more waste products and CO2 being removed from the brain

          3.  Strengthening of blood vessels in the brain (less chances of stroke and CVA)

5.  Avoiding sugar.  High sugar diet makes for sluggish brain activity, especially if sugar is HFCS,  It is because sugar suppresses BNDF  (I just heard at DZRH this health news;  eating sugary food makes subject dumber

Types of exercises:

l.  Stretching

2.  Core exercises

3.  High intensity interval training

4.  Strength training

    I think cycling, gym exercises and jogging and their accompanying gym cross training fulfills this requirement.
