THE EFFECTS OF EXERCISE ON YOUR BRAIN

 Exercise makes you stronger, improves cardio-vascular function and you keep your weight. Not only that, exercise also affects your brain. We present the top five of them here:

Improves your memory

When you move, the blood circulation in your body and also in your brain is stimulated. After a while, new blood vessels form in your brain, which at the same time lead to improved brain function through increased oxygen supply. In addition, exercise and exercise stimulate the release of growth hormones, which help brain cells replicate and regenerate. This protects you from degenerative brain diseases such as Alzheimer's and dementia, as a study by the National Cheng Kung University in Taiwan shows.

 

Reduces stress and improves your mood

During exercise, endorphins are release in your brain and nervous system. These hormones have the effect of making you feel happy and satisfied, much like opiates or antidepressants. According to a study in the University of California, Irvine, they also have therapeutic and preventive effects for depression. You'll feel good for hours after your workout as endorphins work their way through your body. This help you deal with stress better. You will face problems more positively and your interpersonal relationships will also benefit from it, as you will not be annoyed so easily and you will be a more pleasant companion.

 

Improves your sleep

Another benefits of regular exercise is that it help you sleep better. Not only have you made better use of your daily energy store, but also the increased endorphin level, which, as already known, lowers your stress level, lead to a restful sleep. And it is precisely this that has a positive effect on your brain during the day, which can function optimally and keep your concentration on your tasks high.

 

Improves your coordination

Improved coordination helps your body as well as your brain. If you do exercises that push your body to its limits, your brain must also help to control your movements. This effect can be observed especially with fast, complex whole-body movements, such as in kickboxing or circuit training. You will notice how this improved interaction of brain and body will have a positive effect on your everyday life and your training, as you will approach complex exercises more and more confidently and you will also prevent injuries with it.

Improves the ability to concentrate

According to Wendy A. Suzuki , a neuroscience and psychology professor at the University of New York, her lab has demonstrated how regular exercise improves the ability to focus on one thing and shift that focus quickly and efficiently. You'll notice it right away, even if you don't exercise that often. With a better blood supply to the brain areas, you will notice how your attention and your ability to concentrate will improve.

 

So what are you waiting for With all of the benefits of exercising regularly, there is no need to wait a moment longer to get physically and mentally fit. Pack your things and stop by EVO and take a step into a better, healthier future. Your body and mind will thank you.
