Regular high-intensity exercise is not only good for your body, it’s also good for your brain, researchers report.
Their new study included overweight and inactive adults, average age 49, who underwent tests to assess their thinking, decision-making and memory skills — also known as cognitive function.
The study participants began a twice-a-week routine with an exercise bike and weight training. After four months, their weight, body-mass index (a measurement based on height and weight), fat mass and waist circumference were all significantly lower, and their capacity to exercise had increased an average of 15 percent.
In addition, follow-up testing showed that the participants’ brain function had also improved, and that the increases were proportional to the improvements in exercise capacity and body weight. Simply put, the more they could exercise and the more weight they had lost, the greater their improvement in thinking skills, the investigators found.
The study was scheduled for presentation Monday at the Canadian Cardiovascular Congress in Toronto.
“If you talk to people who exercise, they say they feel sharper. Now we’ve found a way to measure that,” Dr. Martin Juneau, director of prevention at the Montreal Heart Institute, said in Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada news release.
Blood flow to the brain increases during exercise. The more fit you are, the more that blood flow increases, Juneau explained.
A decline in brain function is a normal part of aging, but the decline can be worse for people with heart disease, he pointed out.
“It’s reassuring to know that you can at least partially prevent that decline by exercising and losing weight,” Juneau said in the news release.

Jessica Simpson has lost over 60 pounds during the past five months by walking daily and following a healthy, portion-controlled diet.
“In over 20 years, I’ve never seen as consistent a weight loss,” Simpson’s trainer, Harley Pasternak, told Us. “Jessica’s right where she needs to be…She’s gotten so much stronger.”
The new mom has been making steady progress after revealing her impressive 40-pound weight loss last month. Her training regimen includes walking an hour a day, doing gym workouts four days a week, and following a high-protein, low-calorie diet.
Jessica usually has egg whites, peppers, and fat-free cheddar cheese for breakfast; a salad of spinach, pears, and four ounces of grilled chicken satay for lunch, and four ounces of tilapia with asparagus and broccoli for dinner.
The 5-foot-3 Simpson, who’s a rep for Weight Watchers, reportedly ballooned to over 200 pounds during her pregnancy. She gave birth to daughter Maxwell Drew in May 2012, and has since been steadily slimming down.
Simpson, who has made headlines over the years for her dramatic weight fluctuations, is trying to lose weight gradually instead of starving herself, and is emphasizing being healthy rather than just thin.
Jessica, 32, admitted that in the past she was hurt by cruel fat comments, but she now ignores them. “I definitely don’t pick up the magazines,” she said. “I definitely don’t Google my name. I try to avoid it completely, but I subconsciously know the talk is going on. Every day it’s a struggle for me.
“I have to separate myself from the world’s expectations. I have to look inside myself. I’m not a supermodel…I just wanna be a better version of myself.”
