Boost Your Brain
With Strength Training!
Strength training doesn’t just build muscle—it enhances brain power too. According to Pete McCall, author of Ageless Intensity, high-intensity exercise stimulates the production of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF). BDNF is a protein crucial for growing new brain cells. High-intensity workouts, which elevate growth hormone levels, also boost BDNF levels. This dual benefit means that while you’re burning calories and building muscle, you’re also supporting brain health.
BDNF supports cognitive functions such as memory, attention, and problem-solving skills. By incorporating strength training into your fitness routine, you’re not only improving your physical strength but also promoting brain cell growth and overall cognitive function.
Embrace the power of exercise to keep both your muscles and brain in peak condition.
