Short Bursts Of Cycling Leads To Brain-Boosting BDNF Spikes, Study Finds

Exercise is amazingly good for your brain. Even a 10-minute walk might help to improve your mood, focus, and reaction time; 150 minutes of activity a week could keep your mind younger for longer.

A new paper published in Brain Research has suggested that short bursts of exercise could increase people’s brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), linked to the health and growth of brain cells.

BDNF has been described as a “fertiliser for the brain”.
