THINKING CAP! (continued) NOT JUST KEEPING
BUSY MINDS Albert Einstein said, “I never came upon any of my discoveries through the process of rational thinking.” The latest research indicates Einstein was right. It’s not just being intellectually active by reading newspapers, working crossword puzzles and playing chess. It’s introducing a variety of novel experiences and challenging activities into daily life. And that’s not all. LIFE'S A TREADMILL And here’s another good reason to exercise – it plays an important role in good brain health. Not only is exercise good for the heart, it is also good for the mind. The act of exercise releases the “pleasure” chemicals of serotonin and dopamine, bringing about a calm, happy feeling. Exercise also aids in clear thinking and better overall performance. Some research has shown that exercise stimulates nerve growth factors and growth of stem cells. As in mental stimulation, here again variety in an exercise routine will make the biggest impact on brain health.
