How to keep your brain healthy through exercise

Alvaro Pascual-Leone, MD, professor of neurology at Harvard Medical School, discusses the benefits exercising has on the brain and how it may help prevent dementia.

I motivate myself by saying, exercise is my medicine and that's the only medicine I need.... I exercise everyday for 30 minutes. I'm 54 and I feel fantastic!

I've read many sources of information about exercise and the brain, but this is the most simple, brief, and clear explanation about the benefit of exercise to the brain.
To get the benefit of exercise, we must push ourselves beyond what we think is the limit. We need to push beyond when we first sense of fatigue. Because it is from our brain, not from our muscles. When our brain tells us don't go, then push a little bit beyond that.
What an awesome, 'He got to the gym at 5.30 every morning for one hour exercise prior to going to work'

The reassuring statement at 5:15 changed my mentality. Now when I’m feeling tired during a workout, I’m even more motivated to keep pushing because I know that it’s REALLY beneficial for the brain to basically override the signals of tiredness/panic and keep pushing.

true. I learned this when my car broke down. I was forced to exercise. Never felt better!

"Commit not to a lifelong exercise, but commit to the next three weeks. You're going to do four days a week for the next three weeks."
Small steps can make a difference in your life.

🎯 Key Takeaways for quick navigation:

00:11 🧠 Exercise benefits both the body and the brain, improving memory, problem-solving, and potentially reducing the risk of dementia.
01:31 🧪 Exercise promotes a healthier brain by increasing blood supply and glucose to the brain, positively impacting brain function.
03:41 💡 Exercise induces changes in critical brain areas, making them more plastic and capable of adapting to new challenges, resulting in better memory and problem-solving.
04:35 💪 Pushing beyond perceived limits during exercise is crucial for brain benefits, and both aerobic and weightlifting exercises can be beneficial.
06:06 💻 Committing to regular exercise for at least three weeks, with a partner for motivation, leads to improved energy levels and clearer thinking, benefiting overall brain health.

How long does it take until we see a measurable difference in the hippocampus and prefrontal cortex

My fiancé and I would go for walks, while walking we got lost in conversation and by the end of the conversation realize we had walked 20+ miles 😳😆
