There is good news re: cardio exercise and brain power. According to a study that was reported in JAMA this year, walking at least 50 minutes three times a week improved cognitive function. Another recent study demonstrated that a six-month walking program improved memory, decision-making ability and attention. Regular physical activity may improve brain function by increasing blood flow to the brain and stimulating the birth of new nerve cells (neurogenesis). So keep on trucking, Susanna! Hi Susanna~

We all read that exercise is very important, but this routine in print makes me realize that I have to take my walks and runs more seriously. I have attributed my periodic forgetfulness (and increasing inability to muli-task) to menopause. I have read that there is a relationship between exercise and depression. Is there also an association between being cardio fit, regularly doing cardio-exercise, and forgetfulness? Thank you for presenting this series of articles.
