 Many
people go jogging in the morning
for their health. Yes, jogging makes your body stronger and healthier.
But there is one more good reason for you to start running.
Researchers reported that
running is also good for your brain!
According to a new Cambridge
University study, running can help improve your brain power. It also helps
boost your memory. The British researchers
found that running a few days a week will help in the growth of a
great number of new brain cells.
The researchers studied two groups of mice. The first group ran
24 kilometers every day for a week, while the second group didn’t
run at all. According to the researchers, the first group showed improved
mental ability. The running
mice scored nearly twice as high than the other
group on a memory test after the week of running.
“We found that exercise can actually help make the brain
healthy and work better. To improve our brain power, we should run
a few days a week,” said Timothy Bussey, a scientist at Cambridge who
led the study.
“Our conclusion is, running improves
the ability to recall memories, a skill
that is essential for learning,” he added. The study was published
in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
If you want to make your brain more powerful and improve your
memory, start running! |
