Tuesday, March 16th, 2010

General health charts can be found in classrooms, doctor’s offices and hospitals, and are useful in explaining to students, and patients, the importance of a healthy balanced diet, exercise and smoking cessation in maintaining optimum health at any age.

Copyright (c) 2008 SharpBrains

The American Medical News, a weekly newspaper for physicians published by the American Medical Association, just published an excellent article on the importance of Exercise – Physical and Mental:

A few quotes from the article titled “Steps to a nimble mind: Physical and mental exercise help keep the brain fit”:

“Until recently, conventional wisdom held that our brains were intractable, hard-wired computers. What we were born with was all we got. Age wore down memory and the ability to understand, and few interventions could reverse this process. But increasingly, evidence suggests that physical and mental exercise can alter specific brain regions, making radical improvements in cognitive function.”
