Want a bigger brain?
A new study out of Washington University School of Medicine found that more physical activity correlated with larger brain size in healthy adults ๐ง
This was based on MRI brain scans of 10,125 men and women (average age 53). The more days they exercised, the larger their brains were in key areas.
Most of the study participants exercised 4 days per week, but the researchers said that even small amounts of exercise (like walking 4000 steps per day) were beneficial.
We donโt always see the results of our efforts immediately, but taking care of our health will pay off in the long run ๐
