Did you know physical exercise can make your brain ‘fatter’? Have you heard of or read John Ratey’s book “Spark: The Rev­o­lu­tion­ary New Sci­ence of Exer­cise and The Brain”? Accord­ing to Har­vard Psy­chi­a­try Pro­fes­sor John Ratey noth­ing beats exer­cise for pro­mot­ing brain heath.

Exercise regularly and you could reduce your risk of getting dementia and improve your cognitive function.
