Recent research has uncovered the brain’s incredible ability to generate new neurons throughout life, especially in the hippocampus, impacting memory and learning processes significantly. Engaging in various forms of exercise such as resistance training like weightlifting, dual-task exercises like dancing while conversing, and specific leg exercises such as squats has been shown to promote brain health and potentially reduce the risk of Alzheimer’s disease. Contrary to the long-held belief that the brain’s cell production ceases after a certain age, it has been discovered that neurogenesis, the creation of new neurons, can continue late into life. The hippocampus alone can produce hundreds to over a thousand new neurons daily, contributing to the strengthening of existing brain networks and supporting cognitive function. A leading neuroscientist, Dr. Robert Love, emphasizes the importance of certain types of movements, beyond traditional cardiovascular exercises, in fostering neurogenesis and overall brain health.
