"Smart running way" can improve your memory and concentration!

Running can improve a person's brain function, and it can also produce some other benefits. However, it is not "just running", different exercise methods have different directions of improvement. For example, you want to focus on improving memory? attention? Or something else?

Ways to improve "memory" by running

According to the survey, by comparing the hippocampus in the brains of ordinary London citizens and local taxi drivers, it is found that there are significantly more nerve cells in the brains of taxi drivers than ordinary citizens.

The reason is also analyzed. There are at least 24,000 densely packed streets in London. It is very difficult to erase all the memories. In addition to the original complex street routes, taxi drivers also remember the newly built roads. This is why their hippocampus is relatively developed.

Note: The hippocampus here is the "brain hippocampus", the brain area that helps humans process long-term learning and memory of sound, light, taste and other events, and exerts the so-called "narrative memory" function. The hippocampus is mainly responsible for learning and memory. The short-term memory in daily life is stored in the hippocampus. If a memory segment, such as a phone number or a person is repeatedly mentioned in a short period of time, the hippocampus will dump it Enter the cerebral cortex and become a permanent memory. Therefore, people with more developed hippocampus have relatively stronger memory.

Challenges to new environments every day will help improve memory and sense of direction, as well as hippocampus exercise. Recall if you walk on the same road every day? If so, I suggest you make a "road map" in the following order.

1. Only determine the destination before running

2. Record the running route in the notebook after running

3. Then, countless times repeatedly write down the tall buildings, shops...etc. passing by on the way in as much detail as possible.

4. Similarly, continue to expand new routes

Run, remember, record. Repeated exercises like this will definitely improve your "memory".

Remember to try it!

The behavior of "on one side...on the other side..." exercises "attention"

Attention is mainly improved by exercising the front lobes. In order to exercise the front lobes, running is definitely effective, but there is a "double training" that is more effective than this.

"Double training" is training that does two things at the same time. For example, talking while running outdoors is one. It is said that the memory area of ​​the front leaf can be activated by the behavior of "on one side...on the other side...".

If you want to exercise the front leaves when running, you can "rock paper scissors" by yourself. Because the winner must be decided every time, a high degree of concentration is required. In order to exercise the front leaves, it is very important to "complicate" the behavior in this way.

"Cool Down" can make you "clear thinking"

After running, especially after running fast, "Cool Down" is indispensable. If you stop immediately after strenuous exercise, the large amount of blood accumulated in the muscles will not be retained in the heart, and it will cause temporary anemia, dizziness, vomiting and other symptoms.

Also, thinking after strenuous exercise will make the logic clear, so if you want to come up with a good idea in your life, then "Cool Down" is very important.

"Cool Down" is also called relaxation exercise, which allows the blood that stays in the muscles to circulate and transports the necessary blood to the brain. The best way after running is to stop the running rhythm slowly, and then perform a set of simple stretching exercises to let the whole body rest effectively. After finishing the "Cool Down" and stretching exercises to adjust your breathing, after the final exercise, new blood flows to the brain, making thinking easier.

3 minutes of running makes you "smart"

No matter how obsessively sitting at the table, I can't think of a good idea. Instead of going on like this, it's better to just run. It only takes 3-5 minutes to be ok. "Wander around in the same place", "walk up the stairs" and so on, just do these simple actions.

According to the survey, before running and after running, the latter's ability to "attention, think, and desire" is 13% higher. Run down to speed up your breathing, adjust your breathing, and slowly close your eyes while sitting on a stool. In this way, any worries will be thrown into my mind and come up with a better idea.

If time permits, I suggest you take a walk outdoors. According to a university research, people are more original when they are active than when they are sitting, and up to 60%.

Meetings, discussions, and occasional running, walking and walking will have good results. Because the "brain power" in terms of imagination has been improved, new ideas that are expected are also come up.
