bone: A new study has found that certain areas of the brain are slightly larger and more energetic in people who exercise regularly than in others.
It has also been observed that this change is more noted in the parts of the brain that need more oxygen. Although exercise is known by experts to be beneficial for the brain, its effects on the brain have not been considered in more detail before.
“Previously, we tried to understand the brain as a whole, but we looked at the effects of exercise on different parts of the brain, which is a It is the first step.
The experts used the Rhineland study, which uses an extensive study in Bonn, Germany, conducted by DZNE. In this, 2550 people between the ages of 30 and 94 had brain MRIs. All participants wore an accelerometer on the upper thigh that recorded movements. A significant increase in cerebral cortex and brain volume was seen in individuals who were more physically active or exercised.
It proved that physical exertion and exercise have profound and positive effects on the brain. On the other hand, an increase was also observed in the hippocampus, an important part of the brain for memory. Then the experts said that the bigger the brain, the less its chances of degeneration.
Experts also note that even moderate exercise has positive effects on the brain and boosts it. Experts have hailed this research. Thus even 15 minutes of exercise has good effects on the brain. In this way, taking the stairs instead of the elevator can also reduce dementia in old age, while young people can benefit from it.
Scientists have also said that exercise can also reduce the risk of diseases like Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s and dementia.
