Last month I discussed physical activity and cognition. Exercise, especially cardio-vascular, vigorous movement has been shown to improve brain function. This makes sense as more oxygen-rich blood flows to the brain to stimulate alertness leading to enhanced focus and comprehension. I know that many of my most creative thoughts and imaginings explode when I am out on a jog or gliding through the water at the pool. I hope you and your children and grandchildren explored this brain-stimulating possibility.
