Exercise and Brain Growth
Staying active leads to the release of neurochemicals like serotonin, dopamine, noradrenaline, and endorphins, which make you feel good. Additionally, growth factors are released every time you move, promoting the growth of new cells in the hippocampus, a crucial area for cell growth in the brain. This growth is essential as the hippocampus is often the first target in diseases like Alzheimer's dementia. While exercise may not cure such conditions, it plays a significant role in brain health and growth.
