00:00 Welcome back Sunbro, we hope you all in great health and great money.

00:04 Before we start, please at least subscribe so we can have little money for food and paying bills.

00:09 Alright, today we are going to talk about, 8 Benefits of Exercise for Your Brain.

00:14 Exercise is not just good for your body, it's great for your brain too.

00:17 Aim for 30 minutes of moderate exercise most days of the week, but increasing to 45-60 minutes per

00:23 session can provide even greater brain benefits. Here are exercises benefits for your brain.

00:28 1. Improves Focus. Intense exercise can enhance your ability to focus and pay attention,

00:33 as shown by an increase in individual alpha peak frequency (IAPF) when you have electroencephalogram

00:38 (EEG). However, steady-state exercises like leisurely jogging or biking have a lesser impact.

00:43 2. Boosts Memory. Aerobic exercises like walking, jogging, and gardening can help your brain's

00:49 hippocampus grow, aiding memory and learning. Enjoyable activities are especially effective

00:54 in promoting brain health and slowing age-related memory loss. 3. Eases Depression and Anxiety.

00:59 Regular aerobic exercise can significantly reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety,

01:03 potentially because it slows brain cell damage. Consistent physical activity over several months

01:08 can bring substantial mental health benefits. 4. Enhances Brain Flexibility. Exercise promotes

01:14 neuroplasticity, allowing your brain to adapt and learn new things. Both aerobic exercise and weight

01:20 training contribute to a more flexible and resilient brain. 5. Reduces Dementia Risk.

01:25 Regular exercise can lower your risk of Alzheimer's and other dementias by preventing obesity,

01:29 diabetes, high blood pressure, and depression. It also increases healthy brain matter while

01:34 reducing diseased tissue. 6. Improves Blood Flow. Aerobic exercise strengthens your heart

01:40 and blood vessels, enhancing blood flow to the brain. This improved circulation helps prevent

01:45 dementia-linked plaques and nourishes the brain to slow mental decline. 7. Enhances Executive

01:50 Function. Exercise boosts your ability to organize and interpret information,

01:54 known as executive function. Even one session can start this process, and long-term exercise

01:59 reshapes brain structure to improve brain cells' connection. 8. Improves Sleep. Regular exercise

02:04 helps regulate mood, ease bedtime wind-down, and maintain a healthy sleep-weight cycle.

02:09 Active individuals often experience more deep, slow-wave sleep, which revitalizes the brain and

02:14 body. By incorporating regular exercise into your routine, you can enhance brain function,

02:19 boost mental health, and reduce the risk of cognitive decline.
