- thesz 15y agoI did a little investigation on the matters. The key ingredient here is BDNF: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brain-derived_neurotrophic_factor http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brain-derived_neurotrophic_fact... It is produced when exercising, either cardio or anaerobic. And as a side note - prolonged cardio is detrimental for health. It puts body into inflammation state (inflammation markers are present in blood of those exercised daily about 90 min with medium to high intensity). You have to have to do resistance training to make hormonal levels more balanced. So the best training for mind is an interval training.
