The Tuesday Ten: Walking Boosts Brain Health and Function

By

Today we’re starting a new feature here on the blog, a list post that will feature ten different items of interest focused (more or less) on a particular topic. It’ll cover a host of different topics, everything from science and health oriented topics like today’s post, to food and recipes, equipment and gear, books, and more.

Today let’s look at some examples of the expansive literature that supports how walking, and other low-intensity, aerobic exercise boosts brain health and function.

Brisk walking for 30 to 50 minutes three or four times per week improved blood flow to the brain by as much as 15 percent.

Walking improves cognitive function across all adult age groups.

Even in bursts as short as 10 minutes, walking and other exercise can work to quickly elevate a depressed mood and relieve anxiety.

Even light to moderate activity (walking) leads to noted improvements in psychological well-being.

Consistent exercise, such as walking, boosts self-esteem and a sense of accomplishment.

Creative thinking improves while walking and for a time thereafter.

Walking (and other forms of low level aerobic exercise) increase energy levels and the sense of mental and physical fatigue.

Walking and other exercise can make your sex life better.

Walking and other exercise improves the quality and quantity of sleep.

Walking and other exercise increases productivity over your lifespan.
