Can exercise improve learning and memory?
I ask myself this question recently and I had to find out the truth. It turns out that physical activity actually turns on
hormonal support systems in your brain. The activation of these systems
strengthens brain circuits that you already have and helps you develop new
ones. I was happy to hear this because I truly believe my son took off with half my brain when I birthed him. About 2 months after he was born, I started to notice short-term memory loss. Coupled that with postpartum depression, I needed extra help taking care of my little one. My comprehension level has greatly declined, I can't enjoy books like I use too. That little bandit took of with portion of my brain and I want it back!
