Research shows that exercise promotes a process known as neurogenesis, i.e. your brain’s ability to adapt and grow new brain cells, regardless of your age. During exercise, nerve cells release proteins that stimulate the production of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), which in turn helps preserve existing brain cells and stimulates the growth of new neurons. Exercise can produce large cognitive gains and help fight dementia. BDNF is also expressed in your neuromuscular system where it helps protect against age-related muscle atrophy. Workouts using nothing but your own body weight are an efficient way to get fit. You can even fulfill the requirements for a high intensity exercise using nothing more than your own body weight, a chair, and a wall. Get fit, get smart!
