How can physical activity strengthen your brain?

A regular exercise regimen goes a long way in caring for your brain. Seeking out daily opportunities to practice moderate physical activity can support your long-term brain health.

SCIENCE SAYS:

Exercise helps the brain thrive – both today and into the future. Physical activity can help promote cardiovascular health, reduce inflammation and lower levels of stress hormones, benefits which also translate to better brain health.

WAYS TO BEGIN:

  • Practice physical activities that bring you joy.
  • When possible, take the stairs instead of the elevator.
  • Reduce sedentary behavior by adding movement, like walking around your office.
  • Consult with a medical professional before taking on a challenging exercise program.
