One of the best ways to strengthen your brain is to exercise it physically and mentally --at the same time. exercising your brain by thinking --working out problems--is beneficial. And exercising your brain by taking if for a walk is also good . The Hippocampus, the part of the brain concerned with memory, grows as your body gets fitter. But now German scientists have shown that if you do both at the same time, you reap even greater benefits. For example, if you bicycle or walk while learning a new language, the vocabulary tends to stick in your memory longer. Note that this is not the same as multitasking, where you are trying to do two mental activities at once, like reading a book while listening to a lecture. its the combination of physical and mental activity that is the key!

                                  Eat food as a medicine, not medicine as a food!  A study shows that eating exactly seven walnuts a day boosts your brain power . Researchers show that spending at least sixty-eight minutes a day doing aerobic exercise is best for your brain. The list goes on. The number of best practices for your brain is long and a little daunting. Learning how to pick the " better " option instead of struggling to attain the " best " one can help. Trying to achieve protection is the enemy of making progress. Sure, maybe ninety minutes of aerobics a day is ideal, but a brisk thirty-minutes walk every afternoon is much better than remaining glued to the sofa . Think of it this way: there`s a poor choice, a better choice, and best choices. You want to avoid the poor choice, pick as many best choices as you can, and for the rest, go with " better"   It`s better for your br...

A study of male Harvard graduates compared longevity rate of major athlete ( meaning those who lettered in a particular sport), minor athletes ( those who participated but didn't letter), and nonathletes. It was assumed that the major athletes, who presumably exercised the hardest, would have the greatest longevity, but in fact, it was the minor athletes who lived the longest. What does this means? for starters, when it comes to life-extending physical activity, moderation is best. there`s no need to train like an Olympic athlete, because too much is just bad as too little.  Studies suggest that overexercising actually decreases the number of new brain cells your body creates. In one study, rats that overexercised produced half as many brain cells as rats who hadn't even exercised at all. Of course rats are not people, but researchers theorize a correlation to human overexercising.  The key is to strengthen and maintain your body`s and brains system,...

Do not stick to just one type of exercise , like aerobics, to build your brain cells. A 2016 study showed a correlation between weight training and dramatically improved cognitive function in a group of older adults suffering cognitive decline. Stretching exercise alone didn't help . Most health specialists say thirty minutes of weight training a week is sufficient to maintain optimum health. Weight training can vastly improve muscle strength , balance, and flexibility --all of winch are good for your brain These articles may be used only for Educational Purposes.  You can share it with your friends and families through social media .

Regular physical exercise keeps your mentally strong . Research recommend clocking at least twenty minutes a day, but thirty minutes to one hour daily is better. Aerobic exercise such as running or swimming helps get the blood coursing through you system, carrying oxygen and glucose to your brain --two substances your brain cannot do without. Regular exercise also can prod the brain to make more molecules that help protect and produce neurons ,Through studies are still underway to establish the link between exercise and increased brain neurons, many researchers including those involved with Alzheimer's disease research -- are studying the protective effects of regular physical exercise on the brains neural paths for transmitting singles . According to the US office of Disease prevention and health promotion, physical activity guidelines suggest that 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic activity per week can lower the risk of premature death, coronary hearth disease, str...

At any given time, as many as 40 percent of workers hate their jobs. You may think that`s the trade-off you make for being able to pay the mortgage -- bit hating your job is bad for your brain.  Although we tend to think that jobs are supposed to suck, people who enjoy their work over all tend to be more proactive and successful. An Ohio State University study showed that people who felt unsatisfied in their jobs had higher levels of depression and insomnia. They also worried more than people who enjoyed their jobs. something else to think about: how stimulating your job is. Jobs that require little mental engagement or which require a lot of alone time tend to be worse for your brain .  A report by the University of Wisconsin showed that jobs that require complex social interaction actually help prevent Alzheimer's . Jobs that require thinking on your feet also help protect the brain. So, take a good look at your job. is it helping or hurting your brain? These ar...

That`s right: laugh is the best medicine- for both minds and our bodies . For one thing. a good sense of humor provides needed stress relief, when we laugh at our problems rather than fret over them, they can feel less serious and thus seems easier to solve. Humor also improves cognitive function by keeping the mind active and encouraging creative thinking --a vital defense against age-related impairments ---and it provides an important emotional catharsis during periods of emotional tension. Laughing also benefits the heart. improves oxygen flow to the brain, lower your blood pressure, and works the muscles in the head,neck chest, and pelvis -- in much the same way as the stress-reduction exercises of yoga. This helps keep muscles loos and limber and enable them to rest more easily. When you lough, your body activates T cells , which help you fight off disease. So rent a funny movie, go to a comedy club, or watch a comedy show and laugh! These articles may be used only for E...
