HOW EXERCISE CAN HELP YOUR BRAIN FUNCTION Exercise is an essential activity to make part of your daily schedule to improve brain function. Even though we aren’t 100 percent certain that exercise can cure memory loss, we do know that exercise plays a crucial role in our cognitive ability.

“Studies show that people who are physically active are less likely to experience a decline in their mental function and have a lowered risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease” (Ronald Petersen, 2014). Exercising throughout the week for 30 to 60 minutes at a time may help sustain strong thinking, reasoning, and learning skills in healthy individuals; improve memory, reasoning, and judgment for individuals with mild Alzheimer’s disease; and offset the start of Alzheimer’s disease for people at risk for developing it or slow the progress of the disease. Mayo Clinic states that “physical activity seems to help the brain not only by keeping your blood flowing but also by increasing chemicals that protect the brain. Physical activity also tends to counter some of the natural reduction in brain connections that occurs with aging” (Ronald Petersen, 2014). More studies are needed to continue to see how specifically exercise improves memory or offsets cognitive impairments, but overall regular physical activity is important to do to keep up your physical and mental state.
