Any exercise is good for your brain, but walking in particular has some significant benefits. Researchers at New Mexico Highlands University found that “the foot’s impact during walking sends pressure waves through the arteries that significantly modify and can increase the supply of blood to the brain”
Furthermore, walking elevates your mood, which is good. And when you’re wrestling with a knotty problem, a long walk can stimulate the creative centers of your brain, helping you to figure out a resolution. There’s also evidence that walking improves your memory skills. So put on those walking shoes and get started.
