We’re big proponents of physical exercise as a way to build the strength of both body and brain. The NY Times published an excellent review of how aerobic exercise can benefit brain health and performance. Some interesting points covered include:
- running may lead to neurogenesis - the birth of new brain cells
- exercise can reduce psychiatric illnesses, such as depression
- rodents that exercise perform better on spatial memory tests
"Lobes of Steel" is worth a read, but only available to those with NYTimes access.
