The benefits of swimming for your brain

THE BENEFITS OF SWIMMING FOR YOUR BRAIN//WHY SWIMMING IS SO GOOD FOR YOUR BRAIN AND WELL-BEING
Swimming is an excellent cardiovascular exercise that strengthens your heart and circulatory system. But it also really benefits your brain and mental health. It encourages the brain to release brain chemicals that elevate your mood and repairs damage to brain cells and grows new ones to improve your memory. Cold water swimming triggers the release of a ‘cold-shock’ protein that slows down the onset of dementia. So swimming in water builds and repairs your brain while your worries drift away.

I started sea swimming three weeks ago. I’m already an addict! I had heard people say that it was good for the brain but I didn’t realise how quick it would be. Like with all my hobbies, I keep buying equipment - “all the gear no idea” but I love it!

No studies, no re-search, quoted? Yes, any form of exercise is better than none. Yes, swimming is good for you. But how much? How often? What a waste of 12 minutes.

Swimming produce endorphins? That is if you are enjoying it, anything you enjoy doing produce endorphins.
