Did you know an exercise as simple as walking can increase the size of your brain?

Researchers have found that adults who walked for 40 minutes, 3 times per week, for 1 year showed growth in their hippocampus - which is a part of your brain that is crutial for spatial memory. This groundbreaking study was published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

Physical activity promotes the growth of new neurons, which enhances memory function. This study reinforces the importance of having an active lifestyle and maintaining mental sharpness.

It’s never too late to start moving. Even previously sedentary people in their 60s and 70s show remarkable brain benefits just from walking. So if you are looking for an excellent way to support your brain health, start as little as just taking walks. And make moving a priority.
