Cardiovascular Workouts: Boost Brain Function and Mood

Objective: Boost brain function and mood by increasing blood flow and oxygen delivery.

Action Steps

Daily Movement: Commit to 30 minutes of cardiovascular activity

It can be as simple as a brisk walk in your neighborhood, a refreshing jog in a local park, or a heart-pumping cycle session.

Interval Excellence: If you're feeling up to it, incorporate high-intensity interval training (HIIT) into your routine. By alternating between intense bouts of activity and periods of rest, HIIT can enhance cardiovascular benefits in a shorter timeframe.

Stay Hydrated: During your workouts, ensure you're drinking sufficient water. Hydration supports optimal brain function and helps in the removal of toxins.

Reflect and Connect: Use this active time to either disconnect from daily stresses, letting your mind wander, or listen to educational podcasts or audiobooks, turning exercise time into learning time.
