The evidence has been accumulating for years, from a variety of sources, on multiple aspects of cognition and brain health, that physical exercise is great for your brain. While the specific mechanisms driving the health benefits are not well understood, the relationship is clear.

An excellent summary of the evidence was published today the blog BrainandSpinalCord.org. Among the facts are several indications that physical exercise may be a boon to recovery and healing of injuries. Additionally there is evidence that it can be neuro-protective and play a role in certain debilitating neurologic disorders such as Parkinson's disease and Alzheimer's disease.

It can't be said enough; staying active is a good thing.
