Brainy Moment
Did you know that you start to lose brain tissue as early as age thirty? 'Tis true!
Arthur Kramer PHD of the Unversity of Illinois in Urbana has studied the hipocampus (the brain's memory center) through MRI images which have shown that there is shrinkage due to poorly regulated blood sugar (glucose). The doctor says there are dramatic differences in images of those who regularly exercise with those who do not.
Since exercise increases your body's ability to regulate its glucose level, this in turn helps prevent shrinkage of brain tissue. Strength training and aerobics can help prevent this memory loss.
Dr. Antonio Convit of NYU School of Medicine concurs. He says that building muscles is one of the best ways we have of preventing or even reversing memory loss. In this case, I guess the old maxim is true: Move it or loss it.
