So... seriously what are you waiting for?
If you are not exercising, now is the time time start, because it will be an important part of your fight against age discrimination
Exercising for 25 minutes a week, or less than four minutes a day, could help to bulk up our brains and improve our ability to think as we grow older.
A new study that involved scanning the brains of more than 10,000 healthy men and women from ages 18 to 97 found that those who walked, swam, cycled or otherwise worked out moderately for 25 minutes a week had bigger brains than those who didn’t, whatever their ages. 😊
👉 10,125 BRAIN SCANS
He and his colleagues turned to existing brain scans for 10,125 mostly healthy adults of all ages who’d come to the university medical center for diagnostic tests. Beforehand, these patients had provided information about their medical histories and how often and strenuously they’d exercised during the past two weeks.
The researchers divided them into those who’d exercised for at least 25 minutes a week and those who hadn’t. Then, with the aid of artificial intelligence, they began comparing scans and exercise habits, looking for differences in brain volume, or how much space a brain and its constituent parts fill. More volume is generally desirable.
👍 Men and women, of any age, who exercised for at least 25 minutes a week showed mostly greater brain volume than those who didn’t.
