Your brain needs exercise
Did you know that when you exercise;
Norepinephrine is released, improving attention, perception and motivation.
Brain derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) is released, protecting and repairing neurons from injury.
Hormones work with BDNF to grow connections between brain cells, regulate mood and provide mental clarity.
The hippocampus, a part of the brain concerned with learning and memory, grows in size with regular exercise over time.
Endorphins and enkephalins are released, dulling pain sensation.
Serotonin is released, enhancing mood.
Blood flow to the brain increases, delivering more oxygen and nutrients and improving waste removal.
Dopamine is released, improving motivation, focus and learning.
Just in case you needed another reason to start an exercise program.
