New Study Finds that Exercise Can Improve Memory and Cognitive Function
Regular exercise shown to boost memory, attention, and reasoning
Physical Activity Leads to Increased Blood Flow to Brain
A new study published in the journal Frontiers in Human Neuroscience has found that regular exercise can improve memory and cognitive function. The study, which was conducted by researchers at the University of California, Berkeley, found that people who exercised regularly had better scores on tests of memory, attention, and reasoning than those who did not exercise.
The researchers believe that exercise improves cognitive function by increasing blood flow to the brain. When we exercise, our hearts beat faster and our blood vessels dilate, which allows more blood to flow to our brains. This increased blood flow provides the brain with the oxygen and nutrients it needs to function properly.
The study's findings are consistent with previous research that has shown that exercise can improve cognitive function in people of all ages. For example, a study published in the journal Neurology found that older adults who exercised regularly had better memories and were less likely to develop dementia than those who did not exercise.
These findings suggest that exercise is a simple and effective way to improve our cognitive health. By exercising regularly, we can help to keep our brains healthy and functioning properly for years to come.
