How Exercise Can Benefit the Seniors Brain
2
Increasing Blood Flow

• Choosing to exercise on a regular basis helps
  to promote more efficient blood flow. Most people
  tend to think of this benefit as applying to
  muscles or the heart. The fact is improved blood
  flow also has a positive impact on the brain.
  Remember that blood helps to carry nutrients to
  every part of the body. A brain that is receiving
  enough nutrition is less likely to develop many
  of the issues associated with growing older.

The Cognitive Benefits

• Doing as little as thirty minutes of
  moderate exercise will aid in maintaining mental
  clarity. The fact that it is possible to think
  clearly will certainly improve the quality of
  life. Consider what strong cognitive abilities
  can do regarding being able to participate in a
  conversation, manage tasks like paying bills or
  even preparing a meal. When there are no periods
  of confusion or being unsure of what needs to
  happen next, it will be much easier to enjoy what
  each day brings.

Forget About Being Forgetful

• Exercise has the effect of stimulating the
  brain in a manner that helps to release chemicals
  that aid in memory retention. While everyone will
  have an occasional issue like forgetting where
  the car keys are or recalling the name of someone
  who has not been seen in years, remembering
  things should not be part of every day. With the
  right blend of exercises, expect to not only feel
  more alert but also capable of remembering things
  when and as needed.

5
A Better Mood

• People of all ages tend to enjoy more
  balanced moods thanks to regular exercise. The
  activity prompts the release of the
  neurotransmitters that help to regulate mood. For
  a senior who notices that it is all too easy to
  get upset about things that used to be no bother
  at all, exercising can help banish those periods
  of irritation. Instead, it will be much easier
  not to be bothered by little things and have a
  more positive outlook overall.

• Remember that the type of exercise done
  should challenge you physically to provide the
  benefits desired. Work with a professional to
  come up with a fitness regimen that is in line
  with your current state of health. As time goes
  on and you increase your stamina, it will be
  possible to do a little more. In the interim, you
  will begin to notice differences in the way you
  think, remember, and even in your general mood.
