Live healthy and long
From Dr. Mercola archives on fitness | March 22, 2013
What are the benefits of exercise (say biking) to your brain/mental health?
1. Promotes brain health through the production of BDNF (brain derived neurotropic factor)
2. Creation of new brain cells (neurons) through nuerogenesis.
So the more you exercise, the more you lessen risk of dementia and the more your memory and thinking stay sharp and fresh (aside from removal of toxic waste in your brain).
What happens if you stop exercising? Do you retain benefits of exercising if you stop?
Yes up to 6 weeks and then your brain starts deteriorating. Resume exercising, or start exercising now.!
Exercise is medicine. Not available in your drugstore. No need for prescription !
