RE: Physical Activity is Good for Your Brain and Helps Prevent Dementia
Nice post! Exercise is known to increase BDNF (brain-derived neurotrophic factor) which helps encourage the growth and differentiation of new neurons and synapses. This have a protective effect on the ageing brain. I used to exercise a lot before, but lately I have been somewhat lazy:)
I do not think that the oldest and wisest people in the world exercised a lot.
Maybe they would be healthier in body strength and movement if they did ;)
