Baidu know friends @ Liu Rui (neuroscience PhD) Answer:
Today, we have to be swept in the explosion of information and technology tides. Every day, the media, families and networks, newspapers, etc. will be thrown us a lot of new information. We also need to keep the memory of this information, and screening applications. How to make our brains learn faster, remember it longer? The good news came, adhere to the movement not only allows you to have a healthy physique, charming figure, but also let you have a clever brain.
Scientists have been continuously explore effective methods to exercise the brain. Finally, a large number of animal experiments and real human experience have proved the fact that jogging, swimming and other aerobic exercise can improve brain exactly cognitive function. Short: exercise can make people become smarter.
One reason: the movement to promote new nerve cell formation
Nerve cells in the brain is the basis of our learning and memory. The more nerve cells, the mutual connection between them, the more the brain's learning and memory will be stronger, the more intelligent. The late 1990s, the United States SALK Institute, Fred H. Gage and other researchers found that adhere to the hippocampus (a region of the brain in charge of learning and memory) running mice daily number of nerve cells in the newborn is not running a small twice mice. But also found mice running in the water maze faster exit without running the mouse innocently wandering in the maze. Although exercise-induced increase in the number of brain cells in mice unclear why, but the "exercise can affect the nervous system structure" This discovery has changed the traditional concept of everyone.
However, mice belong to rodents, they are born to love running. Smart lazy like primates such as humans, can become smarter by sports? In the experiment, the mice run a good few hours a day. But this law does not meet the rest of mankind. Habits and intensity of exercise also allows the human brain to become smart? Thus, the University of Pittsburgh Judy Cameron and other options with more similar to humans monkeys as subjects, confirmed the importance of exercise on the brain, and came to the sport can make people smarter second reason [3].
Two reasons: the brain exercise can promote angiogenesis, improving blood supply to the brain
In this experiment, the researchers asked a group of monkeys run one hour a day on a treadmill, running five days a week. While another group of monkeys then just sat there and watched gleefully. But five months later, the gap came out. Monkey running group become more alert, more focused attention, learn faster. Their learning new things quickly turned into a double degree is not running group. Moreover, the number of monkeys running group of new blood vessels in the brain is not significantly more than the running group. These new blood vessels to provide blood to the brain more.
An important role of blood is to transport oxygen. In the running process, the flow velocity becomes faster, continue to provide more oxygen to significantly improve brain metabolic rate, so that our brain is more sober. However, note that when the motion stops, these improvements will disappear. Therefore, in order to become wise through exercise, perseverance.
Many people think that he was older, his mind obviously not enough. But in fact, the cause of your mind is not enough perhaps because you exercise too little. University of Illinois (Urbana-Champaign) of Art Kramer has confirmed this fact.
Reason Three: Exercise can slow the brain atrophy
With age, the brain atrophy is inevitable. Studies have shown that normal human brain, the hippocampus to shrink every year 1-2%. In order to confirm whether the aerobic exercise can slow the brain atrophy, the researchers convened a group of 55 to 80 years old were studied in the elderly. These elderly were randomly divided into two groups, 40 minutes of walking (aerobic exercise) carried out a set of three days a week, another group performed strength and balance training (anaerobic exercise) during this time.
A year later, the researchers by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) found that walking group of middle-aged friends hippocampal volume over the previous experiments an increase of 2%, and their memory is getting better. While another group strength and balance training friends hippocampal volume was reduced by 1%. Experiments show that aerobic exercise in slowing brain atrophy during natural significance.
So, what are you waiting for, get out fast that running it. This will not only exercise your body, it makes you smarter.
