Walking Clears Brain Fog and Boosts Memory Now and in the Future

NeuroImage (June 2021)

Most people assume the biggest benefit from walking daily is on the cardiovascular system - your heart. ​It is true that the heart steps up its rhythm when you walk but the biggest beneficiary of the increased blood flow turns out to be your brain!

A study done by NeuroImage shows that exercise, such as walking, can renovate the white matter in your brain (the network of nerves that allows your gray matter to communicate). This increase in plasticity improves your ability to think and remember. The effect continues even as you age. Many studies have confirmed that the increased blood flow to the brain from walking lowers your risk of cognitive decline and dementia.

Walking now is a great way to clear the immediate brain fog so you can tackle the day in front of you. It is also a great investment in your brain health for your future memories as well. Should the new saying be ‘a walk a day keeps dementia at bay’?

RiseEight Desk gives you the freedom to walk WHILE you work meaning you don’t lose one minute out of your day.
