Physical activity benefits your brain as much as your body. Regular exercise supports memory, focus, and mental clarity at every stage of life.

**How movement helps your memory:**
- Increases blood flow and oxygen to the brain
- Boosts levels of mood-enhancing and memory-supporting chemicals like dopamine and serotonin
- Improves sleep quality, which is key for memory formation
- Reduces stress, which can interfere with concentration and recall
- Promotes brain plasticity — helping your brain adapt and grow

Aim for a mix of cardio and strength training, even in short sessions. What’s good for your heart is great for your brain.
