Exercise your Brain

You need your brain. I think we all know that without further research.

However, did you know that there is research available on the fact that your brain needs your body to exercise to help it build and fire it's (very important) neurons correctly? And you say, well sure, that makes sense.

Well listen to what Arthur Kramer, a PHD professor of cognitive neuroscience at the University of Illinois says

~~"We examined brain structure before and after fitness training and we found increases of brain volume in a number of areas." ~~

and you might say, "and so?"

And so, if this is true, why has funding for physical activity been taken out of schools? Why is not the funding for physical education important, if it has to do with the good functioning level of our brains? Someone is being very dumb and not reading the research.

So here’s how it’s dealt out – fact is fact. Your brain needs your body to work out! -- Do anything -- move around quickly and fastly, roller blade, play volleyball, play softball, just move!

Parents, it all falls on you. If we can’t change the legislation of funding for our schools, then we have to get our kids out there to move. And homeschool parents, you are responsible for the same thing. Our kids have to move, also.

Move America!! Move away from the TV and video games!! You’re your brain that’s at stake here. And consequently, what affects one person in the world is going to somehow, someway, affect us all.

Getting your heart rate up can increase blood flow to the brain which is a good thing. This will help with an improvement in memory and overall brain function, so say the studies. The studies also say for this to happen, all you need is 30 minutes of something as little as walking 30 minutes a day.

No one is asking anyone to run a marathon. Just remember the old motto, Move it or Lose it – and now, guess what folks, that includes Your Brain!
