FOTD: Move to be Younger
May 10, 2007 in FOTD
Yesterday we learned that eating more veggies can help you feel five years younger! Today a way to feel even younger!
For the first time scientists have found something that not only halts brain shrinkage but actually reverses it. According to a new study, the brain’s long, slow decline may not be inevitable. Regular aerobic activity apparently increases blood flow to the brain and triggers biochemical changes that increase production of new brain neurons. Professor Arthur Kramer of the University of Illinois says, “After only three months, the people who exercised had the brain volumes of people three years younger.” Studies have linked increased brain volume to improvements in thinking, remembering and the ability to ‘think outside the box.’

There we have it – eat more veggies, feel five years younger! Get some aerobic activity and your brain age decreases three years. Now you can feel almost a decade younger in no time.
