1. Reverses Damage to the Brain Caused by Stress
Stressful experiences, such as losing a loved one or being diagnosed with an illness, can atrophy the brain. This is particularly true of the part of the brain known as the hippocampus, which is responsible for memory. Over time, this damage can result in memory loss. Exercise reverses this damage, which can result in your loved one having increased cognitive function.
2. Releases Endorphins that Calm and Relax
Endorphins are a type of neurotransmitters that the brain releases when stress or pain is present. Endorphins act to reduce the body's perception of pain and stress. Exercise causes endorphins to be released, which can help to relax your loved one and reduce the body pain that can occur
