Healthy mind really does live in a healthy body .

 

A new study has proved an old saying ‘healthy mind lives in a healthy body’.

Researchers from University of Gothenburg in Sweden have revealed that regular exercise boosts brain power of young adults.

It improves blood flow to the brain that could help build new brain cells.

The study involving nearly all Swedish men born between 1950 and 1976, scientists discovered that cardiovascular fitness was linked with overall intelligence.

Most of the people are unaware of the fact that, our mind and our body are directly linked. Everything that our body does is a result of commands being given by our brain. These commands get processed in several stages and cause lot of alterations which finally makes our body act the way it does. Inversely, our body also affects our brain. The body is full of nerve endings which send signals to the brain according to which our brain reacts further. Moreover, even our internal organs are regulated by the brain, and they also send signals to the brain based on which the brain send further signals to the organs causing them to respond accordingly.

Thus, to maintain a healthy mind, it is essential to maintain a healthy body, including internal organs, and vice versa. The more we shape our body, the more our mind gets shaped. In this regard, physical fitness is extremely beneficial. Optimum physical exercise helps to maintain a healthy body, externally and internally by regulating blood flow, increasing the oxygen-carrying capacity of blood, keeping the different parts as well as organs active, eliminating toxin from the body as well as by regulating various other biological phenomenon that take place within the human body.  

A healthy body fights against many anomalies and helps multiple parts and organs to rejuvenate. This enables the brain to be at peace since a lot less stress signals are sent to it. Thus, a healthy body helps you to grow independently with a peaceful, healthy and positive mind.
