Here's how you can improve your memory within 2 weeks

MANILA, Philippines - It’s a known fact the engaging into physical activities can bolster your body systems, yet many people refuse to exercise thinking that the body does not need it so much or its already too late to start a new lifestyle.

While some might think that exercise is valuable only when entering adulthood, or only when you are trying to lose weight, multiple studies show that getting exercise can benefit you at any age and its benefits not only lies on its ability to shed off some pounds.

Dr. Small, member, nutrition advisory board and professor of psychiatry and bio behavioural sciences, and also the Parlow-Solomon professor on aging at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA explained the importance of exercise.

According to him, people who perform daily physical exercise along with healthy diet and mental exercise, experience significant improvements in their memory ability in just two weeks.

“By exercising, you reduce your chances of having multiple diseases – including cancer, stroke, heart disease and diabetes. It also safeguards your brain from other effects of aging,” he said in a release.

Thus, exercise is vital in slowing the effects of aging by prolonging life and reducing disease and disability in old age.

In another study, it was revealed that men who had been sedentary but started exercising after the age of 45 enjoyed a 24 percent lower death rate than men who remained inactive.

Dr. Small notes that "a simple brisk 30-minute walk each day will ensure cardiovascular conditioning that gets your heart pumping oxygen and nutrients to your brain cells, so those cells sprout branches, communicate more effectively and remain healthier longer." Thereby, you don’t need to use common excuses such as lack of time and lack of equipment in exercising.

“Whatever your age, a combination of good nutrition and physical and mental exercise will benefit your life in multiple ways. And you will boost your chances of living life to the full, well into your golden years,” he adds.
