Louisa believes that exercise is one of the most powerful tools we have to protect. and enhance our brain health. And in this clip, she shares simple practical strategies that we can all adopt, whatever our age or fitness level.

You mentioned that aerobic exercise can increase the gray matter of the brain. Yes. That sounds really great, I'm sure, to many people. In terms of what that actually means for them, if they have more gray matter, what is that? Is that the way they process information, the way they think?

Absolutely everything. Your brain is responsible for everything that you do. It is responsible for who you are, how you see, how you interpret information, how you sleep, how you eat, even down to the spouse that you choose. If you have a better functioning brain, more gray matter, more functional neural networks, you will perform better, think faster, and live longer. It'll make you a better human.
