A daily dose of aerobic exercise is good for your mind just as much as it is for your heart and waistline.
One of the many downfalls of aging is that our brains become not as sharp as they used to be resulting in forgetting things easily along with the reduced ability to pay attention. Recent research out of the Netherlands has found that aerobics can boost cognitive processing speed, motor function, and visual and auditory attention in older adults. In other words: regular aerobic exercise may actually help keep that brain of yours sharp as a needle well into your golden years.

this article reminded me of when i took a 6am speech class, and i would think about running a few laps before my speeches since i was not a mornining person.. and i knew of a man who walked every day of his life, and must be in his 90's now
1perhaps a few squats are in order for fitsugar. Shouldn't the title read "It keeps you sharp"? Maybe it's a test to see if we are sharp?
