Improve Cognitive Performance with Physical Activities

As people age, some begin to see their cognitive ability decline.  One can do cognitive exercises like crosswords or word searches to keep the mind active, or they can perform physical activities to improve cognitive performance according to several studies.  In the Journal of the American Medical Association, those engaged in exercise programs have shown improved cognitive functions, and the benefits were “long-lasting” because the effects were sustained even a year after the research.  It is believed that the birth of new nerve cells promoted by physical exercise helps in the memory region of the brain. Which can also help the brain to retain the ability to alter its capacities.  Even if exercising does not improve your cognitive functions, it is still good for your health and it is fun, especially for seniors and elderly people.
