  • Not only can regular workouts help you to lose weight and stave off an array of diseases, but according to new research it might even offer a boost in memory for up to 24 hours. According to research published in the International Journal of Behavioral Nutrition and Physical Activity,

The article from MSN discusses a study published in the journal "Nature" which suggests that engaging in certain types of exercise can significantly enhance memory function for up to 24 hours post-exercise. The research highlights that activities like cycling, running, or swimming, which increase heart rate, lead to the release of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), a protein that supports neuron growth and survival. This boost in BDNF is linked to improved memory performance. The study involved participants who underwent different exercise regimes, and those who performed aerobic exercises showed better memory recall compared to those who did not exercise or performed non-aerobic activities. The findings propose that regular physical activity could be a simple, non-pharmacological way to enhance cognitive functions, particularly memory, offering potential benefits for educational settings, work environments, and in managing cognitive decline associated with aging.
