Exercise and socialising Groups in Nottingham
Exercise and socialising are a double boost for your brainpower.
Regular physical activity increases blood flow, delivering oxygen and nutrients that nourish brain cells. This can promote the growth of new neurons and strengthen connections between them, both crucial for memory, learning, and focus. Social interaction, on the other hand, keeps your cognition healthy by stimulating it with new ideas and perspectives. It can also help reduce stress.
By incorporating both exercise and social activities into your routine, you're giving your cognitive health a powerful boost.
