| We don't give much thought to exercising for the sake of our brains (at least not until we're old enough to worry about Alzheimer's). But there's growing evidence that brains thrive on regular physical activity all the way from childhood to old age, say researchers at Deakin University's Institute for Physical Activity and Nutrition.
Childhood and adolescence may turn out to be critical for influencing brain health in later life, says Dr Helen Macpherson whose recent review of research linking physical activity to brain health was published in Frontiers in Ageing Neuroscience. although we need more research to determine this.
