The Greeks intuited that sport and intellect maintained a close relationship, and this has been demonstrated by several groups of experts to conclude that more blood to the brain contributes to there being more oxygen and therefore better nourished cells.

Moreover, science now uses biochemistry to better understand this complex process, and so we now know it all starts in the muscles. Yes, because every one of them contracts or relaxes, it releases substances that act directly on the central nervous system.

We talked in particular of a protein called GF-1, which operates as a “foreman” who oversees the construction and functioning of neurotransmitters and other brain chemicals involved in the reasoning of human beings.

One of them, scientists say, is a “brain fertilizer” brain called neurotrophic factor (BDNF, for its acronym in English), which causes the nerve connections to execute their work smoothly and that, moreover, is BRANCH and communicate better with each other, all this allows the individual to store information that at some point you can use. That is why the prejudice must be banished for a muscular person who likes the exercise is mentally slow.

To support this claim is interesting to know the research of Dr. Fernando Gomez Pinilla, affiliated with the University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA), who studied the effects of BDNF in rats.

Rodents studied exercised on a wheel for several weeks, but some of them were blocked with a drug BDNF.

Subsequently, all animals underwent a test of intelligence or cunning, which was to find a hidden object under water. The group was quickly fulfilled his mission which was the effects of BDNF, while the other did not respond with equal precision.

So, many scientific groups worldwide working in the field of neurogenesis, ie the process involving the generation of new neurons from stem cells, which are now known, are found throughout our bodies .

The exercise, we repeat, is the great engine of this output neuron, although it is essential to know that just a month of inactivity for astrocytes, cells that support neurons begin to reduce its size and cause disorder in the central nervous system.
