Physical Activity
Staying active is one of the biggest boosts you can give your brain. Every time your heart beats, 25% of the blood it generates goes directly to your brain. That blood carries oxygen and nutrients vital to brain health. The more fit your heart, the more effectively it can feed your brain with what it needs to stay sharp.
