Health for All

Stockholm, There is one more benefit that can be obtained if diligently exercising regularly. Not only physically healthy but who added the brain also become more intelligent.

Factors smart because sports is more tested than for offspring or genetic. Sports and smart for the environment impact by 80 percent while for genetic offspring or less than 15 percent.

What links do sports and clever brain?

People who exercise regularly will have a strong cardiovascular system. Thereby increasing blood flow to the brain, reduce anxiety, improve mood, reduce fatigue and make one more concentration and focus in on something.

This powerful system can improve a person’s brain that help him get better value and can be more successful in the future.

“Doctors have known since 3000 years ago that there is a healthy mind in a healthy body too,” said H. Georg Kuhn, professor of regenerative neuroscience from the Center for Brain Repair and Rehabilitation, Institute of Neuroscience and Physiology, University of Gothenburg in Sweden, as quoted from the Health, Thursday (3/12/2009).

The study also found that genetic factors play a small role in explaining the relationship between mind and body compared with environmental influences.

“The results of this study show apart from genetic influences that are already there, whatever one’s chosen and performed in daily life can make a difference in people’s own self,” said Dr. Suzanne Steinbaum, a spokesman for the American Heart Association.

The relationship between physical activity and cognitive function (understanding) has been studied before, but usually only on older people to prevent dementia and in children.

While this study focused more on young adults, because at the time of academic achievement has a major impact on one’s future and its central nervous system is still developing.

The researchers made the young adults over the age of 18 years as its object. Cardiovascular health obtained better levels associated with higher intelligence, as well as environmental factors have an impact of 80 percent while the genetic less than 15 percent.

If you want more intelligent and successful in doing all things, it never hurts to make a regular workout schedule each week. In addition to the increased ability of the brain, the body will become healthier.
