Exercise Boosts Brain Power

Studies show that mental agility scores improve when testing is conducted on a treadmill. The reason? Exercise increases blood flow through your body. The blood carries oxygen, which is essential to brain function. More blood flow = more oxygen = more fuel for your brain!
Being physically active can also calm your mind, and allow you precious mental time to help you work through a variety of problems. It’s an excellent time to put your brain to use on something productive.
