The brain is composed of two essential types of tissue: gray matter, which is responsible for processing information and cognition, and white matter, which coordinates communication between different brain regions. The health and volume of white matter…
Of course you’d expect me to say so, but science has uncovered some compelling evidence that backs me up: Exercise triggers mitochondrial biogenesis, a decline of which is common in aging; this reverses significant age-associated declines in mitochondrial mass, and in effect, stops aging in its tracks. Aside from impacting your skeletal muscle and fat…
