✅ Today’s Insight: Morning Exercise May Boost Brain Health

📚 The Research

A recent study from the University of Western Australia shows that just 30 minutes of moderate morning exercise (like walking or light jogging) can significantly boost brain functions such as memory, attention, and decision-making. Participants also benefited more when they took short standing or walking breaks throughout the day.

🧠 Why It Matters

Physical movement increases blood flow to the brain and elevates levels of BDNF (Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor)—a key molecule involved in learning, mood regulation, and long-term brain health.
In short: move more, think better.

⚡ Quick Takeaway

If you can spare 20–30 minutes in the morning, go for a brisk walk, do some yoga, or try light cardio. Even short bursts of movement help get your brain into gear for a sharper, more focused day.

📌 Bite-Sized Fact

Walking just 4,000 steps a day is associated with improved cognitive function in older adults. That’s about 35–40 minutes of walking. Small habits = long-term brain gains.
