Is there a connection between the brain and exercise? Absolutely. Brain mapping shows significant differences between the brains of those who regularly exercise and those who rarely or never do. What causes this?
Two crucial substances significantly influence brain function and condition: glucose (blood sugar) and oxygen (O2). A deficit of either can lead to brain dysfunction. Glucose is derived from the digestion of carbohydrates in food, while oxygen enters the body through the nose, is absorbed by the lungs, and circulated by the heart throughout the body, including the brain.
