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!

Ban Ki-moon Visits Haiti    [29-01-2010]

* 2월 6일 뉴스 아티클 딕테이션 용입니다.

On January 17, UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon visited Haiti to encourage the people who are suffering. The country was hit by a strong earthquake on January 12 and thousands of people died. Many people in the capital, Port-au-Prince lost their homes and loved ones. They are suffering from sadness, hunger, and thirst. Mr. Ban went there to promise to help them.

The UN chief visited Haiti and met the president of the country, Rene Preval. Mr. Ban promised him to help the victims of the devastating earthquake. “I came to Haiti with a very heavy heart to deliver a message of hope to the country’s earthquake victims and provide full support of the UN to the people of Haiti,” said Mr. Ban.

Due to the lack of food and water, Haitians are losing their patience. Currently, about 3 million to 3.5 million people are in need of help. “I sincerely hope and appeal to the Haitian people to be more patient,” Mr. Ban said. “I have seen and met many people on the streets. They are looking for a way to survive. I told them that I’m here to give them hope and to bring them a better future.”

Many countries in the world are sending food and water to Haiti. Korea also sent many people to help the Haitians. The UN World Food Program (UNWFP)유엔 세계식량계획 plans to send more food to feed 1 million people in 2 weeks and 2 million people in one month.

According to the UN chief, the UN Security Council유엔 안전 보장 이사회 will also send more peacekeepers and international police to Haiti. Let’s hope Mr. Ban comes up with many more great ideas to help Haiti. In the mean time, why don’t we also offer a helping hand to the Haitians? You can donate your old clothes and shoes to send to them or you can give some money to help doctors heal the sick people.
