more integrated brain

There is increasing evidence about the need and benefit of movement for a healthy brain - and specific information about how and why this is so.

A little does a lot. Every movement counts. There are immediate gains for our health, quality of life, as well as brain function.

We can no longer be serious about the development of mind and brain without incorporating movement - or at least developing a better understanding of human anatomy and physiology.

Get started with more information. The following quotation is from the website of John Ratey, MD.

Spark Your Brain!!!

Adding exercise to your lifestyle sparks your brain function to improve learning on three levels:

First, it optimizes your mind-set to improve alertness, attention, mood, and motivation;

Second, it prepares and encourages nerve cells to bind to one another, which is the cellular basis for logging in new information; and

Third, it spurs the development of new nerve cells from stem cells in the hippocampus.
