Jog Your Brain

"There is...an easy-to-achieve, scientifically proven way to make yourself smarter.  Go for a walk or a swim." 

This is the advice of Gretchen Reynolds, in her article, "Jogging Your Brain, in New York Times Magazine (April 22, 2012).  She explained...

"For more than a decade, neuroscientists and physiologists have been gathering evidence of the beneficial relationship between exercise and brainpower.  But the newest findings make it clear that this isn't just a relationship, but the relationship.  Using sophisticated technologies to examine the workings of individual neurons -- and the makeup of brain matter itself -- scientists in just the past few months have discovered that exercise appears to build a brain that resists physical shrinkage and enhance cognitive flexibility.  Exercise, the latest neuroscience suggests, does more to bolster thinking than thinking does."
