Exercise and Your Brain, I Heard It Makes Your Brain Bigger

To be more specific, exercise was found to increase brain size slightly, but far more important to increase “spatial reasoning.

This is the ability to recognize patterns, remember phrases, numbers, and so-on.

This was discovered by researchers at the Universities of Chicago and Pittsburgh.

It is also one of the most important factors in the prevention of Alzheimer’s and dementia.

My mom suffered from dementia for the last ten years of her life.

But unlike most dementia patients she was fully functional thanks to exercise.

She drove and had a mind that was unbelievably sharp right up until an accident injured her beyond the ability to exercise.

After that, she mentally went downhill rapidly.

Thankfully, she passed in peace… and she had ten wonderfully active years thanks to her willingness to take up weight training at the age of 71.

She eventually walked up to 3 miles per day and trained in the gym 3 days per week.

That kept her mind sharp, along with fish oil and N-Acetyl L-Carnitine, a wonderful brain nutrient.

Once again, we see the power of exercise. It increases the QUALITY of your life.

Quantity is nowhere near as important to me as quality.

Your brain will thank you, as will the rest of your body.
