Physical Activity & Mental Health

We all know that exercise has a positive effect on our mood and improves the overall mental health. But few know that regular exercise affects our mind in its physical form. Years of research has shown that a physical activity actually promotes growth in the stem cells of the brain, thus by having a positive effect on brain plasticity. Basically you sharpen your brain by storing and recollecting memory effectively. Sometimes, when you’re walking on the road or sitting still at home, and you lose focus of what you’re doing, try to do a little on-spot running and see how you jump start that brain. Exercise not only maintains and improves our mental health but also helps in preventing and curing mental- related diseases. We now have enough evidence to support that exercise combined with a good diet can actually minimize the symptoms in diseases such as Dementia and Alzheimer.
