Why is that exercise is good for the brain?

Exercise causes feelings of well-being, relaxation, stress reduction, improves memory and slows the development of dementia associated with age.

5 reasons that make the physical exercise good for the brain:

1 - The hormones that cause happiness / wellbeing, endorphins, are pumped in greater quantities when the exercise stimulates the hypothalamus.

2 - The memory improves, because at the level of the temporal lobe, there is an increase of neurogenesis.

3 - Aerobic exercise decreases the loss of gray matter, which occurs naturally after the 30 years old at the level of the frontal, temporal and parietal cortex.

4 - Its action in the hippocampus may help reduce depressive symptoms by increasing levels of chemicals whose deficiencies are associated with mood changes.

5 - The exercise minimizes the deterioration of the function that usually occurs in the frontal lobe with increasing age, including the role of driving messages between different areas of the brain.
