Exercise makes you smarter

A recent research conducted in the US says 30-minute exercise a day can make you a genius.

    According to fitness experts, if you think muscles are just for gym enthusiasts, think again! A latest research conducted at the University Of Texas in the US says that a 30-minute workout a day could turn you into a genius.
    The university pulled out information from more than 1,100 college students about their regular weekly pump and grades. The results revealed that students who got an ‘A’ exercised for at least 30 minutes — 3.52 times a week — whereas people with a C, D or an F grade only exercised for about 2.81 times a week.
    We show you five ways how working out can make you smarter.
    Says fitness expert Althea Shah, “Exercise improves your mood. It works as an antidepressant and thus helps lift your mood instantly. Apart from this, it also helps you to concentrate on things that you do on a daily basis. So, working out on a daily basis can actually make you smarter and more confident about yourself.”
Boosts energy >> Did you know the more you move, the more energised you feel? Well, we all think that moving around too much or exercising a lot can make you feel tired and dizzy. But regular activity improves your muscle strength and boosts your endurance. It gives you the energy to think clearer and come up with new ideas. If you move around for a good 15 minutes, it will make your body produce more energy at the cellular level.
Sharpens focus >> Dr John Ratey, an author, said exercise improves your brain in the short term by raising your focus for two to three hours afterwards. For example, if you have a presentation to make at work or have to make a speech, try to workout an hour before. It is believed that you will be at your peak when you perform.
    In the long term, it helps you combat brain ageing or Alzheimer’s. This works on the cellular level in your system. The brain improves with the pumping of blood in your body, which happens when you exercise.
Enhances mood >> Exercise is known to trigger endorphins, which improve the functioning of your brain. Thus, after you’ve exercised, your ability to sort out priorities improves, allowing you to block out distractions in life and also concentrate better on the tasks at hand.
Improves your memory >> Do you know that your brain retains more when your body is active? In an experiment published in a journal, students were asked to memorise a string of letters and were then allowed to run, lift weights or sit quietly. The students who worked out were more accurate with their answers than those who chose to sit quietly after memorising.
Enhances productivity >> Have you ever heard of the saying, ‘If you want something done, give it to the busy person’? When you’re productive and efficient, you are bound to succeed. It is also said that workers who exercise once midday between working hours, tend to contribute more than what others do. They are also more productive at work.
