Many people go jogging in the morning for their health. Yes, jogging makes your body stronger and healthier. But there is one more good reason for you to start running. Researchers reported that running is also good for your brain!

According to a new Cambridge University study, running can help improve your brain power. It also helps boost your memory. The British researchers found that running a few days a week will help in the growth of a great number of new brain cells.

The researchers studied two groups of
mice. The first group ran 24 kilometers every day for a week, while the second group didn’t run at all. According to the researchers, the first group showed improved mental ability. The running mice scored nearly twice as high than the other group on a memory test after the week of running.

“We found that
exercise can actually help make the brain healthy and work better. To improve our brain power, we should run a few days a week,” said Timothy Bussey, a scientist at Cambridge who led the study.

“Our
conclusion is, running improves the ability to recall memories, a skill that is essential for learning,” he added. The study was published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

If you want to make your brain more
powerful and improve your memory, start running!
