RECHARGE Your Memory in 10 Min. (Easy)

The biggest problem I have with the mainstream approach to memory loss is this…
They don’t see a problem UNTIL there IS a problem.
In other words, you don’t see too many doctors writing prescriptions for preventative care.
But when it comes to your memory, chances are the clock is already ticking… and every step you take now to avoid memory loss later goes a long way.
That’s why I was so excited to see this study.
Researchers have uncovered an EASY way to recharge your memory… and it takes just ten minutes a day.
I’m a huge believer in the power of exercise to change your overall health. But now it’s become clear that your brain benefits when you get your heart pumping.
Multiple studies have shown that every time you exercise, you improve attention and what’s called executive performance. This handles planning, working memory, time management, and organization.
What’s truly amazing, however, is that there are permanent changes to the brains of people who exercise. Brain scans of exercisers show that they have a MUCH larger volume of white matter (brain cells) than their non-exercising neighbors.
But today I’ve got even better news…
A recent study in the journal Neuropsychologia found that just 10 minutes can the trick.
In the study, researchers had participants ride an exercise bike for ten minutes or read a magazine for the same amount of time.
Then, both groups had their brain reaction times assessed with a special test called the antisaccade task. In this common test, participants were asked to follow a moving dot with their eyes.
And the researchers found that the group who’d exercised had a much faster reaction time.
So, to get these benefits yourself, try adding in at least ten minutes of physical activity daily. And remember, you don’t have to do it all at once… it’s perfectly fine to get your exercise in breaks throughout the day.
My best exercise plan is for you to stay on your feet for two to four hours a day. Simply getting up and moving around every so often instead of sitting for hours at a time can give you many of the benefits of regular exercise.
