| Subject: Listen up, anarcho-capitalists: How long you need to do cardio to reap the benefits for your body and brain Mon Aug 07, 2017 10:17 pm | |
| Aerobic exercise, or "cardio," might be the closest thing to a miracle drug that we have.
A growing body of research suggests that when we commit to regular workouts that raise our heart rate and get us moving and sweating for a sustained period of time, magical things happen to our body and brain.
We think more clearly, feel better overall, and protect ourselves against some of the cognitive decline that occurs with age, studies suggest.
"Aerobic exercise ... has a unique capacity to exhilarate and relax, to provide stimulation and calm, to counter depression and dissipate stress," the authors of an article in the Harvard Medical School blog "Mind and Mood" wrote.
But how long should you be cycling, swimming, walking, or running to reap these benefits?
Overall, research suggests that the magic happens somewhere in the window of about 30-45 minutes at minimum.
