Exercising keeps your body fluid, mobile, and elastic, and increases the chemicals in the brain that reinforce and prevent the hippocampus (the memory and learning center) from degenerating. For this reason as well, the memory of a physically active individual can exceed and stay intact longer than our immobile brothers. Another benefit of daily exercise is the regulation of sleep. The average person is bombarded with hundreds of different ads, music, and media every hour, this coupled with the stress of work and/or raising a family can inhibit people from falling asleep easily at night.

With just thirty minutes per day of exercise, you can heal your body, increase longevity and improve your health. ML ON THE SCENE MIAMI LIVING 35 For more information visit: www.crunch.com
