🧠💪Exercise for a healthy brain!💪🧠

Your workout is doing more than building muscle—it's building a better brain.

exercise is one of the single most powerful things you can do for your brain health, backed by decades of research.
When you move your body, something remarkable happens in your brain. Blood flow increases, delivering more oxygen and nutrients to brain cells. Your body releases growth factors that help create new neurons and strengthen connections between them. Exercise literally helps grow your brain, particularly in the hippocampus, the region crucial for memory and learning.

Studies show that people who exercise regularly have:
✨ Better memory and cognitive function
✨ Reduced risk of dementia by up to 30%
✨ Lower rates of depression and anxiety
✨ Improved focus and mental clarity
✨ Slower age-related cognitive decline

How much do we need?
Just 150 minutes of moderate exercise per week has been shown to be effective, for example, this could be a 30-minute walk five times a week – enough to provide significant brain protection. More intense exercise offers even greater benefits.

A good way to think of it is that you're not just investing in how you look or feel today - you're actually protecting your memory, mental sharpness and your cognitive health for years to come.

When you have one of those low motivations days, remember you're not just training your body, you're training your brain to stay sharp, resilient, and healthy for life.
