It appears that the brain exercises fitness in at least three ways, depending on the type of exercise, we are an exercise of thought or physical training or computer training.
Make use could mean running or lifting weights or practicing is one of the brains of new training programs and monitoring and changing knowledge, which has been shown, Dr. Judith Beck, in their plan of solution of power to be effective.
The physical exertion of running or lifting weights promotes neurogenesis, or growth of new brain cells.
Cognitive-behavioral exerises that Mr. Beck has been shown to reduce activation in the fear center of the brain called amygdala.
His work has been using fMRI requirements or functional resonance imaging magetic observe different levels of activation of those affected, a phobia of spiders.
The activation of the amygdala after cognitive behavioral therapy or CBT has been considerably reduced.
In other words, people are not experienced as intense a reaction of fear of spiders as they are in front of CBT training
Programs Fitness computerized brain has been demonstrated, depending on what you are looking for in terms of research into memory and processing speed of high level (EIS) and IQ to improve people by another program.
Another program has been supported by educators, and another from a large team of college basketball with his teams in the Final Four of the NCAA last year.
The work of Jaeggi and Buschkall with n double back task indicated that IQ can be improved, and there is no ceiling, which must be done in this regard. More training improves your results.
Of course, a high IQ does not translate into fame and fortune, or even beneficial relationships. Just a warning for those who need it.
Physical activity has a positive impact on the brain.
As the brain is the organ that most food and blood, an exercise that need to increase the blood flow will have a positive effect on the brain.
I recently read that exercise is the best way there is the issue of insulin resistance, a precursor of diabetes.
This is just one of many benefits of lifting weights or running or walking to the brain.
Just a reminder that the current recommendations that you run either: a) 30 minutes / day of moderate intensity 5 days or more per week 30 minutes per day, or b) the training of high intensity interval of at least three days a week .
A guideling general that people should note that moderate exercise you breathe hard enough you can talk, but I can not sing. High intensity would be a difficult conversation a little.
I tried some HIIT training at home with homemade tools, except for an exercise ball, and they make your breath, but not complicated. If you can climb and descend stairs, do push-ups and sit ups, or, or walk in your area, you’ll be able to take advantage of physical fitness, including increased neurogenesis, or growth of new cells brain.
I hope you asked, at what level you feel good to allow your brain with an activity or exercise or take advantage of computerized cognitive exercises fitness brain.
