Moving more helps more than just your body!

🧠✨ Exercise Boosts Brain Power! ✨🧠

Did you know that just 20 minutes of movement can have a profound impact on your brain? 🤯💡

🚶‍♀️ In a recent study, 10 students who walked for 20 minutes performed better on a test compared to those who sat quietly. This shows how aerobic exercise like walking can boost cognitive control, improve attention, and enhance academic performance! 📚

In the above image:
- Blue areas typically represent lower levels of activity..
- Green and yellow areas indicate moderate levels of brain activity.
- Red areas generally represent the highest levels of brain activity.

🔗 How does it work?

- Movement stimulates growth and creates stronger connections between nerve cells. 🧠

- A single bout of moderately intense exercise can set the brain up to receive and retain new information! 🔥
