It's time to stop thinking about training just before beach season. Pay attention to how exercise can change your brain and the future in general.

Beauty and health Author Kluber Reading 3 min. Views 3. 9k. Posted 30. 04. 2019 Shortly before my 40th birthday, I started working out regularly at the gym. And when I was training, I noticed that physical activity improved not only the body, but also significantly transformed the work of the brain - for the better..

I was extremely inspired by changes in mood and cognitive processes. They became noticeable almost immediately after I started training.. As a neuroscientist and exercise enthusiast, I have come to the following conclusion: All of these benefits can have a profound effect on how we live, grow, and age..

Let's start with one of the most important benefits of training, which becomes apparent almost immediately.. Firstly, it is an effective way to beat stress and the emotions associated with it.. This is because exercise increases levels of important neurotransmitters such as serotonin, norepinephrine, dopamine and endorphin..

During depression or moments of intense anxiety, the level of these neurotransmitters is greatly reduced.. That is why a run or a half-hour workout on an elliptical trainer immediately changes our mood for the better.. The negative emotions caused by the stressors we face on a daily basis go away..

We conducted a study with our team and found that training improves concentration and the ability to switch attention from one to another..

Even irregular exercise leads to a positive result.. We are talking about increased concentration of attention immediately after you " It doesn't matter how you got it. Maybe you took your dog for a walk, or maybe you attended a full-fledged CrossFit workout..

The findings of our research suggest the following: if you have a presentation or meeting where you need to carefully listen to everything that is being said, try to practice shortly beforehand. After training, your concentration will increase significantly.

Personally, what inspires me the most is how exercise affects our hippocampus.. This area of \u200b\u200bthe brain, which plays the most important role in the processes associated with long-term memory. It is also unique in that throughout our lives new cells are produced there.. This process is called adult (hippocampal) neurogenesis..

If most of us make it a habit to exercise or attend workouts regularly, then we will generally become less stressed, healthier and more productive..

The good news doesn't end there.. Recent research suggests that the hippocampus improves people's imagination. We have already established that training promotes the formation of new hippocampal brain cells and improves memory.. And the findings of a new study show the beneficial effects of training on the brain structures involved in the process of imagination..

This theory has yet to be tested in practice.. However, the hypothesis itself sounds very inspiring..

It is also important to say about one of the most important positive effects of training and exercises on long-term memory. The longer and more regularly you exercise throughout your life, the lower your chance of cognitive decline and dementia in old age.

This is partly due to the fact that training triggers the formation of new hippocampal brain cells..

Of course, this effect cannot be seen immediately.. It will show up in many, many years.. Still… If most of you start exercising regularly today, many of you will be able to avoid the problems associated with cognitive decline in the future..

It's time to stop thinking about training just before beach season. Pay attention to how exercise can change your life and future in general.
