According to recent research, exercise can indeed help you grow brain cells! This is an incredible break-through for science. Traditional teaching in medicine was that once we lose brains cells we do not replace them. Now new human research published in the Proceedings of National Academy of Sciences shows even 3 months of aerobic exercise results in sprouting new neurons in your brain, particularly areas involved in memory and learning. Being active may actually prevent Alzhiemers, ADHD, or other cognitive disorders, in addition to improving mood and sleep, decreasing anxiety, increasing self esteem, and enhancing resiliency. There is no better medicine. So get moving to build your muscles and your IQ.
