The connection between walking and thinking
- Walking changes our chemistry. The heart pumps faster, circulating more blood and oxygen to all the organs and the brain.
- Walking promotes new connections between brain cells and increases the volume of the hippocampus (a brain region essential for memory)
- Walking elevates levels of molecules that stimulate the growth of new neurons and transmit messages between them.
