A good workout not only burns fat, strengthen your heart, and keeps diseases like diabetes at bay--it improves your mental health too. Work up a sweat and you will:
Stay Sharp: A new study in Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise shows that people who maintain at least a moderat lever of cardiorespiratory fitness cut their risk of dying from dementia in half.
Think More Clearly: Thirty minutes of jogging can improve cognitive skills, like comprehension and attention, according to a study in the International Journal of Psychopysiology.
Remember This: Research conducted in Ireland's University of Dublin found that performance on a memory test got significantly better after only 30 minutes of cycling.
Up Your IQ: Forty minutes of vigorous activity like running, a day for three months raised scores 3.8 points on average in a Georgia Health Sciences University study.
Feel Happier: Get moving for at least two hours per week and you're 70 to 85 percent less likely to be depressed or anxious, or to burn out, per a study in the journal Mental Health and Physical Activity.
