It's time for me to take a blog break.
I'm going to spend more time on my offline life rather than my online life for a while, making myself able to focus more of my time on my family.
Wishing everyone a wonderful rest of spring!
I look forward to visiting everyone's blog when I return.

Exercising your body, also exercises your mind

Take years off your brain. Exercise is linked to a lower risk of Alzheimer's disease among older people; now, new research shows it can prevent brain fog at a much younger age too. Japanese researchers assigned sedentary young adults to two groups; one took aerobic exercise classes, and the other did not. After 4 months, MRIs revealed that the non exercising group experienced shrinkage of grey matter in some areas of their brain, while the active participants had no change.
