Aerobic exercise improves brain health
by Alicia Oberholzer
challenge, set your brain
up for success by enjoy-
ing an hour of movement
first.
Take a walk with friends,
toss a ball at the park, at-
tend an exercise class, or go
for a run.
This pre-learning exer-
cise can boost your brain’s
potential to acquire knowl-
edge and develop new skills.
W.S. Holistic Health
Top brain researchers
have referred to exercise as
‘Miracle Gro’ for the brain.
This is because studies
have shown that aerobic ex-
ercise causes a release of
proteins that help with the
growth and connectivity of
neurons.
Neurons are the building
blocks of the nervous sys-
tem and play a key role in
transmitting information
throughout our brains and
bodies.
Exercise has also been
shown to impact our brain’s
longevity, str ucture, and
function.
Scientists have found that
participating in an aerobic
fitness program can increase
the brain’s volume, reduce
risk of dementia, spark cre-
ativity, and improve higher-
level thinking.
Fitness maximizes
learning potential
A study at Naper ville
Central High School in Illi-
nois looked at the impact of
establishing a strong health
and fitness culture in an aca-
demic setting.
While several schools
across the country have cut
physical education programs
in response to budget pres-
sures, Naper ville took a
chance by trialing a program
that allowed students to sign
up for Physical Education
directly before their most
challenging class.
Since the start of this pro-
Alicia Oberholzer
gram six years ago, students
who took PE right before
English read on average
half a year ahead of those
who did not; and students
who participated in PE be-
fore math scored signifi-
cantly better on their stan-
dardized tests.
Exercise
elevates
mood, reduces anxiety
A large study out of
Harvard University found
that individuals with depres-
sion who perfor med
strength training twice a
week experienced signifi-
cant improvement in their
symptoms compared to
those who did not.
Several studies have also
concluded that aerobic ex-
ercise is a helpful tool to
reduce anxiety.
This is due to improved
blood flow to the brain, as
well as the release of impor-
tant proteins and mood-
boosting hormones.
How to get started
Next time you have a
work, life or school related
Make a goal of partici-
pating in 30 minutes of
moderate intensity aerobic
exercise daily. Examples of
aerobic exercise include
walking, biking, or swim-
ming.
If 30 minutes sounds
too challenging, start daily
consistency and work your
way up to the half hour du-
ration.
You can also break up
the sessions throughout the
day, such as 15 minutes per-
formed twice a day or 10
minutes three times per day.
Strength training can be
perfor med at home, as
there are several exercises
that do not require any
equipment. Examples in-
clude squats, lunges, push-
ups, planks, etc.
If you prefer to add re-
sistance, all the equipment
that you need is available
for free use at the Warm
Springs Community Cen-
ter.
There are even compli-
mentary personal trainers
to help get you started and
keep you safe in the weight
room.
