According to recent research, engaging in regular exercise, even at moderate level, can lead to improved brain size. The study’s findings, published in the Journal of Alzheimer’s Disease, emphasises the positive impact of physical activity on brain health.

Brain volume, or the size of the brain, has been linked directly to cognitive health. A decline in brain volume can indicate cognitive impairment, which can eventually lead to conditions like dementia.

On the flip side, maintenance or increase in brain size is believed to have a protective effect on the brain.
