Being fit helps your brain

Tuesday, May 19th, 2009

I’ve recently read an interesting article that refers to neuroscience research. It states that those with the fittest bodies also are the ones with the best brains. 

Doing exercise can make learners significantly better at learning. Thirty minutes of vigorous aerobic activity provides an “oxygen advantage.” And this can last for up to 48 hours.

I’ve often recommended that people combine study with exercise, but I think this is also useful for when we have complex problems to solve at work. You probably have noticed that going for a brisk walk stimulates your brain cells and makes you more effective when you get back to your desk.

Sisters and Brothers

Sunday, May 10th, 2009

Professor Tony Cassidy of the University of Ulster says that ‘sisters appear to encourage more open communication and cohesion in families’ while brothers ‘have the alternative effect.

Having a sister results in better social support, being more optimistic and better coping strategies.

The research was based on questions with 571 people about their siblings.
