Are yu preparing fr a big test? If s, yu may want t play sme basketball in between hitting the bks. Dctrs are starting t find mre and mre infrmatin that suggests a cnnectin between exercise and brain develpment.

Older peple can beef up their brain as well. Scientists frm 11 universities studied a grup f senirs aged frm 70 t 79. Their study shwed a shrt-term memry increase f up t 40 percent after exercising just three hurs a week. The exercise des nt have t be very difficult, but it des have t increase the heart rate.
