Brain..

 


The neuroscience of exercise shows that physical activity significantly benefits the brain by promoting neurogenesis (new neuron growth), increasing brain plasticity, and enhancing blood flow

Exercise stimulates the release of neurotransmitters like endorphins, dopamine, and norepinephrine, which improve mood and cognitive function, and it strengthens brain regions like the hippocampus and prefrontal cortex that are vital for memory, learning, and stress management.  

  • Exercise, especially aerobic activity, promotes the birth of new neurons in the hippocampus, which is crucial for memory and learning. 
  •  Regular physical activity strengthens existing neural connections and promotes the growth of new ones, improving the brain's ability to adapt and recover. 
  •  Exercise promotes angiogenesis, which is the growth of new blood vessels in the brain, leading to better circulation and delivery of oxygen and nutrients. 
  •  Exercise enhances areas like the prefrontal cortex, which is responsible for attention, focus, and decision-making. 
  •  Physical activity triggers the release of key mood-regulating and alertness-enhancing chemicals, including endorphins, dopamine, serotonin, and norepinephrine. 
  •  Consistent exercise can increase the volume of the hippocampus and prefrontal cortex, which are vulnerable to decline with age or neurodegenerative diseases.
