Episode 3581:
Dr. Jenny Brockis explains why regular physical activity is one of the best things we can do for brain health, and why it does not require a gym. She suggests simple ways to add movement to the day, from taking the stairs to parking farther away, and describes how exercise increases blood flow to the brain and supports the growth of new brain cells. Her point is that consistency matters more than intensity, and that it is never too late to start building healthy habits.

Quotes to ponder:

"If there is the choice of the elevator or the stairs, take the stairs."
"It's a no brainer not to be exercising."
