[Health]Develop this habit to improve your cognitive ability and focus

Studies conducted at the Georgia institute of technology in the United States on exercise and the brain show that the average person who does 20 minutes of light aerobic exercise improves cognitive performance, concentration and research thinking for three to four hours afterward. This is because exercise improves blood flow to the brain, releasing dopamine, which is associated with motivation and learning.

Other light activities such as stretching, gymnastics, and working while walking or standing can also have the same effect.

Since ancient times, we humans have been moving our bodies while keeping our minds fully functioning. In the days when hunting was the means of survival, humans were constantly thinking and trying to catch animals larger than themselves. In order to survive, it is necessary to move the body, use the brain, with this way to keep the brain developed. In modern times, although we no longer hunt, our brain mechanisms have not changed much. Physical activity through exercise is essential to improving brain performance.

Also, getting into the habit of exercising every day can help you reach number four: "body mass index above 18.5, below 30?"


Walking for 15 to 30 minutes three times a week can help you stay in shape. Changing your diet and exercising to stay healthy might at first sound like weight loss. But you don't need to lose too much weight to keep your mind functioning for life.

A BMI above 18.5 and below 30 means that you are neither thin nor fat, and you are a moderate body type. When I tell patients in the exam room to walk more, they often reply, "doctor, you won't lose weight if you walk more." But the goal is not to lose weight, but to get into the habit of moderate exercise.

On the other hand, if someone in their 40s or 50s has not developed an exercise habit, or has not done aerobic exercise in the past month, we can say that their healthy habits are entering a vicious circle in which the mind is becoming unusable.

I'm not asking people to buy jogging shoes, sportswear and go out for a run. Instead, get off the bus a stop early and walk home when you come home from work, or take a walk to a nearby park during your lunch break, or do your favorite sport during the holidays.
