Step 9: Practice at Least 15 Minutes of Aerobics Every Morning
Your brain absorbs 20% of your entire oxygen uptake; that is how much
important it is for your gray matter's functioning. Professionals who regularly do
this activity think faster, react faster, and recall more accurately. What's more is
that according to a study that involved seniors aged 60 to 79, aerobics helped
their brains grow bigger, which also made them more mentally agile and alert.
The results were compared to seniors who only did stretching, and as expected,
the difference was significant.
Cardio exercises in general improve the oxygen uptake of the brain. This has
been supported by another European study that says 40 minutes of stationary
biking, at least thrice a week, increases the oxygen level in the brain by more
than 50%.
