Healthy Brain

Exercise is essential to promote a healthy brain and increase blood flow to brain. When u move, the exercise will stimulate the brain to release neurotransmitters; dopamine hormone that controls pleasure and exercise, serotanin that controls fear, stress, anxiety, etc and norepinephrine that controls antidepressant. Therefore, exercise is good to cure depression. Since the brain is the central of the body, a healthy brain means a healthy body.

Our brain contains 1 trillion cells and ten thousand cells die a day as we age. Do u know that all of our body cells can regenerate and building new tissues everyday but only the brain cells don't regenerate but dying everyday so we need to protect the remaining cells well. Colouring is a better exercise compared to writing or drawing because this simple activity maintains the balance of the brain as it requires look, remember and think on how to paint, which needs the entire brain. This is very good brain exercise for old citizens.

*Notice that the "exercise" refers to physical body exercise as well as mental exercise.
