Today's article on Cnn.com is just more evidence in the growing list of scientific evidence that being fit has a major impact on brain function. Researchers uncovered just exactly what there is about doing exercise that boosts brain power and memory. Exercise boosts brainpower by building new brain cells in a brain region linked with memory and memory loss. Exercise generated blood flow to increased blood flow in the areas consisted of a three month cardio program and produced cerebral blood volume changes. Increased blood flow that was building blo od vessel wall strength is also making changes in brain by increased blood flow to the area of brain causes humans to grow new brain neurons in brain. The more fit a person got, the higher the oxygen reading, increasing memory.
Once these findings were established in mice, researchers were interested in human improvements in memory. Before and after measurements were done by MRIs that tracked blood volume showed similar cell growth in humans. Now its just a matter of doing additional research to find out what exercises and how much in needed to produce optimal results.
