There’s a million girls who are told, “you can’t” “you won’t”. It’s the world that makes us doubt ourselves, it’s society that oppresses us, makes us feel anxious and small and if you don’t have a place that’s lifting you up then you can just become smaller and smaller #MichelleO
Older adults who participate in a year-long aerobic exercise program increased the size of their hippocampus by 2%.
This growth is significant because the hippocampus, a key area of the brain involved in learning and memory, typically shrinks by 1-2% annually as we age.
What drives the growth of neurons in response to exercise?
Vigorous exercise boosts levels of Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF), a crucial protein that not only supports the development of new neurons but also enhances neural plasticity—the brain's ability to adapt to new information and experiences.
