BODY MOVEMENT

Blood Flow throughout the body brings oxygen and other nutrients to all our cells (at any age!), and carries away waste products. Surprisingly, the blood vessels that feed our brain cells age faster than those neurons, so keeping a healthy brain will a ways include movement, exercise, and overall blood circulation.

What we know about Blood Flow Benefits:

• Improves blood pressure
• Improves the heart’s ability to pump blood throughout eht body and brain, which increases oxygen and nutrient delivery.
• Boosts the “flexibility:” of the blood vessels, which decreases the risk of high blood pressure stroke, and heart disease.
• Stimulates the brain’s ability to grow new brain cells, or neurons.
• Improves mood, focus and cognitive flexibility.
