This blog post from The New York Times discusses the link between exercise and brain health. It explains that while all types of exercise are beneficial for the brain, aerobic exercise seems to have the most positive impact. The article cites several studies that have found aerobic exercise to improve cognitive function, memory, and attention. It also mentions the role of exercise in reducing inflammation and promoting the growth of new brain cells. The post concludes by highlighting the importance of regular exercise, particularly aerobic activities, for maintaining brain health.
