Can exercise make the brain more fit? We've known for years that exercise remodels muscles, making them more durable and fatigue-resistant. Without getting into all the details and academic explanations of the density of mitochondrial cells, etc. etc., instead let's talk about the end result.
Like muscles, many parts of the brain get a robust workout during exercise. "The brain has to work hard to keep the muscle moving" and all of the bodily systems in sync. Epidemiological studies show that long-term runners have a lower risk of neurological disease.
Isn't this enough to make you want to get up off the couch and take a brisk walk or run?
Keep it Simple, Consistent and Fun
