HOW WALKING EVERY DAY AFFECTS YOUR BRAIN

Aerobic exercise is very good for the heart, but some researchers are saying that an aerobic workout has also benefits for the brain.The regular aerobic exercise like walking can secure the memory center in the brain and the stretching exercise can cause the center called the hippocampus to shrink.

There is a study that includes men and women in their 60s. They were walking three times a week for a year and that cause increase in the volume of the hippocampus, which is very important for the memory.The control participants who take the stretching classes have presented drops in the volume of the hippocampus.It’s very likely to overcome the age-related decline in hippocampal volume with only moderate exercise.The volume of the hippocampus is dropping with age by between 1% and 2% a year, which causes impaired memory and increased risk for dementia.The results point to that aerobic exercise is neuroprotective and that starting an exercise regimen later in life is not pointless for either enhancing cognition or augmenting brain volume.
