Exercise Supports Cognitive Health After 40

Exercise supports the brain not only by increasing blood flow, but by activating a whole-body communication network between muscles, metabolism, the immune system and the nervous system.

This article looks at how movement supports cognitive health in midlife, and why the best approach is not to focus on one factor, but to understand the whole system.
