Today’s SCIENCE SAYS: Adults who are inactive are almost TWICE as likely to experience cognitive decline, compared to active adults. A consistent combo of strength and cardio training plays a key role in our brain fitness and overall brain health over time.
Researchers used the FITT-VP principle to assess the effects of exercise on cognitive function. They found that chronic strength and resistance training had the greatest benefit on global cognitive function and executive function respectively.
What does that mean for your brain?
- Improved memory + focus
- A boost in feel-good chemicals
- Reduced risk of long-term cognitive decline and Alzheimer’s disease
And that’s just a snapshot!
Fortunately, it’s never too late to start bulking up on brain power. Have you experienced any brain-boosting incentives along your fitness journey? Let’s hear about them below
