Active Living – the Smart Move

Hosting your brain in a more active body has a big impact on your mental health. Increasing your physical activity – even by just a few minutes a day – has a direct improvement on your cognitive function. Exercise increases connections and blood flow, balances insulin levels and stimulates your neurons. Positive effects include:

• Improved reasoning and problem solving
• Improved long-term memory
• Reduced risk of dementia and depression
• Reduced risk of Alzheimer’s (by up to 50%)
