Exercise Leads to Heart Health and Brain Health

Submitted by Brian Fitzpatrick

Our brains can only work well when it has an ample supply of oxygen and fuel. This is why heart health is essentially brain health. Your brain is only as good the plumbing (heart and blood vessels). Now here is the exciting part, imagine that when they needed to repair I-80, they not only patched up the interstate, but actually built adjacent roads to decrease traffic and congestion. That’s exactly what the body does within 2 hours of working out. The body releases chemicals to repair and build brand new blood vessels, particularly in the brain after as little as 30 minutes of moderate exercise. With more healthy blood vessels, the brain gets more oxygen and fuel and you are able to concentrate, learn, and think better.
