Researchers at the University of Kansas medical center have discovered that physically fit Alzheimer’s patients have larger hippocampuses, a part of the brain, than their counterparts who were not as physically fit. The hippocampus is the part of the brain that is very important in memory and learning. This is the first study that showed an actual physical size difference in the brains of those who are physically fit. This gives us another good reason to exercise and stay fit, whether it is with a personal trainer, working out at your house, or working out at a gym.
