Regular leg exercise essential for a healthy brain, say researchers

The research shows that using the legs, sends signals to the brain that are vital for the production of healthy neural cells, essential for the brain and nervous system

Regularly moving your legs, especially when bearing weight, is essential for the production of healthy neural cells, essential for the brain and nervous system, a study has found.

The research published in the journal Frontiers in Neuroscience, shows that neurological health depends as much on signals sent by the body’s large, leg muscles to the brain as it does on directives from the brain to the muscles.
 

The study alters brain and nervous system medicine -giving doctors new clues as to why patients with motor neuron disease, multiple sclerosis, spinal muscular atrophy and other neurological diseases often rapidly decline when their
