Scientists have uncovered how exercise directly influences brain health in Alzheimer's disease by pinpointing the exact brain cells affected. Using cutting-edge RNA sequencing and mouse models, researchers identified changes in specific cells like microglia and a novel type of astrocyte after exercise.
I think the important part overall is cardio. You need to elevate your heart rate for sustained periods of time. Lifting weights is better than not, but your brain benefits from the increased and improved blood flow “to clean out the garbage” (much like quality sleep).
My anxiety attacks elevate my heart rate daily. Does that count?
Actually, it probably does. But the negative effects of anxiety probably outweigh it.
Lol. I feel ya!
It actually increases the risk of dementia: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7355582/
Have you tried daily exercise, mindfulness, and anxiety-reducing supplements?
Have you tried not having ADHD?
is heartrate the deciding factor here? if so, my gooning sessions and horror games achieve that just as well
the problem is just elevating your heartrate without exercise your body won’t dilate your blood vessels to accommodate the faster blood traffic. This makes for lots more collisions between the blood cells and the intersections where blood vessels diverge, causing low grade damage to the system that builds up over time.
When your muscles activate with your heart the blood vessels all dilate and the blood pumps much smoother.
