To activate the brain, improve concentration, memory, and mental stability, one must have the consciousness of daily exercise.
Increases the blood flow to the brain
Exercise refreshes the mood because exercise can make blood flow more from the heart to the brain, allowing the brain to reach the best state, which means that "exercise can physically strengthen the basic structure of the brain.
(Harvard University Medicine) Associate professor John J. Ratey of the graduate school explained in his book "The only thing that can exercise the brain is exercise!" that is to say, the enhancement of muscle and cardiopulmonary function (health) is a by-product of exercise, and more importantly, it can be exercised. The brain improves the efficiency of daily learning and work.
Activating the brain through exercise can have 4 effects on the brain.
1) The blood flow to the brain accelerates and increases, and more oxygen and the glucose of the brain energy activate the brain.
2) Neurotransmitting substances increase. Neurotransmitting substances are lubricants in the brain, just like money in the economy, making the transmission of information between the nerves in the brain smoother. In addition, the substances in the brain and the receptors of neurotransmitters will also increase, which will promote the activity of the brain and prevent the aging of the brain at the same time.
3) Promote the lateral sitting nucleus of the reward system in the brain to increase the secretion of dopamine, make the brain feel happy, and promote the brain's response speed and concentration.
4) The increase of serotonin can keep the spirit, which is one of the basic conditions of brain activity, stable.
Complex exercises are the best.
In addition, to activate the brain's movement, complex exercises have a better effect on brain activation than simple exercises. Complex movement refers to a combination of irregular rhythms, such as rhythmic dance, etc. Pure movement refers to a purely rhythmic movement, such as simple walking, etc. The more complex the movement, the more obvious the activation effect on the brain.
Ideal exercise to increase the concentration
In a word, the exercise to increase heartbeats is an effective way to increase concentration. The ideal maximum number of heartbeats during exercise is between (220-current age) x 70~75%, such as 135 to 150 beats per minute for 20, 125 to 140 beats per minute for 30, 120 to 130 beats for 40 /minute.
To exert a day's concentration, exercise in the morning is the key. 30 minutes to 3 hours after exercise is the easiest and most natural way to improve concentration (memory can also increase by 20% to 30%). The anterior lobes and parietal lobes will become very active and should be used effectively.
Among the exercises that increase concentration (quick walking), walking (walking) is better than running and other muscle exercises. You can decide by yourself "exercise at this time of the day, what exercise, and how long to exercise" and "exercise several days a week" to make daily exercise a habit.
