Exercise

For overall physical and mental health, exercise is essential. It has been shown in studies to be good for the brain and may help in memory improvement in people of all ages, from young children to older adults.

For instance, a study of 144 individuals, ranging in age from 19 to 93, revealed that all age groups benefited from a single session of 15 minutes of moderate activity on a stationary bike. Numerous studies have demonstrated that exercise may boost the release of neuroprotective proteins and enhance the growth and development of neurons, both of which contribute to better brain health. Regular exercise in middle age is also linked to a lower risk of dementia in old age.
