What most of us use does not use the full potential of our brain, the pure truth - although not very pleasant.. What if I told you about one exercise that neuroscientists believe can improve your brain function

However, this exercise is one of the easiest.. What is this exercise?

Run. The most ordinary run that can bring to your mind such clarity that even the strongest coffee in the world is unable to achieve.

You are writing a book, and you are stuck on some episode? Go for a run.

You are about to make a decision that could change your whole life.? Before that, be sure to make a circle or two..

Are you sad, lonely, or feeling like a squeezed lemon Running will help you.

In short, if you're stuck on something and it's not going well, go for a run..

But why a regular run has an almost magical effect on us? How does this explain?

Writer Joyce Carol Oates once wrote that "

Perhaps Monte Davis said it best in his book The Joy of Running.. Here is a quote from it:.

“It’s very difficult to run and feel sorry for yourself at the same time.. In addition, a long run is inevitably followed by even longer hours of mental clarity..

An intense run can make you feel like a whole new person... And this feeling, as it turns out, is quite scientifically justified..

Previously, it was believed that the brain of any person contains a limited number of neurons, and that when the period of growing up ends, this number remains unchanged until the end of life..

But... it turned out that this is not entirely true.. The results of research clearly show that new neurons are formed in the brain throughout its life.. We are talking about the hippocampus, an area of \u200b\u200bthe brain that is associated with the processes of assimilation of new knowledge and memory.. And promotes the formation of neurons, in particular, intensive aerobics.

Karen Postal, president of the American Academy of Clinical Neuropsychology, says: “If you exercise until you sweat—about 30 to 40 minutes—new neurons begin to form in your brain.. Neurons that just happen to form in the area responsible for memory.”.

Increased brain activity after a long run is also recorded in the frontal lobes of the brain, its part, which is often called the " When you engage in intense aerobic exercise (like running) for 30-40 minutes (enough to make you sweat), oxygen-rich blood rushes to this part of the brain, which causes it to function " But she is responsible for many of the characteristics that we associate with “clarity of mind”: the ability to plan, concentrate, set clear goals, and so on..
