Protecting the brain
Research has focused just on the effects of exercise. The bottom line: Exercisers learn faster, remember more, think clearer and bounce back more easily from brain injuries such as a Stroke. They are also less prone to depression and age-related cognitive decline. But why should a mindless half-hour on a treadmill affect your brain?

A healthy eating lifestyle combined with exercise reduces the risk of Diabetes in Children, Teens and Adults.
