Hi Everyone!
You may remember me showing you in class the Madagascar video of "I Like To Move It, Movie It" (Below). We discussed how exercise benefits one's wellness not only cardiovascularly, but also increases your Norepinephrine, Serotonin & Endorphins resulting in higher self-confidence & discipline, an increase in energy, a decrease in depression, anxiety and tension and improves your cognitive functioning.
Well, some recent research has found more evidence of exercise benefitting cognitive function. Exercise seems to help prevent the progression of Alzheimer's disease in the early stages. One could speculate if it is preventing memory cells from dying in those with Alzheimer's, it may do the same on a smaller scale for those of us without Alzheimers.
Another studied mentioned in this report found it also helped these patients with their balance and as a result they did not fall as often...which as you know can have severe consequences in the elderly. How is your memory & balance? :-) Why don't you grab an older family member & start to Move It, Move It!
