Bust a Move to Beat Brain Fog!
09/04/2024

Brain fog might be a symptom of menopause, but cognitive decline is also associated with aging in general. We know that exercise is great for heart health, for lung health, for bone density, and mobility, and even gut health... but what about our brains? Read on to learn the science that links brain health and busting a move!

Per one study, "Fortunately, emerging evidence from health neuroscience suggests that age-related brain changes and associated cognitive declines may not be inevitable. In fact, they may even be reversible. Exercise is a particularly promising health behavior known to induce changes in regional brain structure and function in older adults." Another review noted several studies done, and found that, "those who exercised three or more times per week were more likely to remain dementia free during the 6-yr followup period, independent of other risk factors for dementia. Along similar lines, the amount of walking, expressed in blocks per week, was predictive of higher gray matter volume measured over a 9-yr period." This is perhaps related to increased synaptic functioning, lower cortisol levels, increased brain blood flow, the comorbidity (links) with other diseases, and changes in amylase levels.

In this case, the science is clear - workout to keep your brain and your body healthy!
