sportsThere are many benefits to the human body, which can strengthen the body and improve immunity.Research published in the journal Science shows that exercise not only strengthens the body, but also helpsthe brainProduces a mysterious protein that increases neuron production and connections, promptingbrain powerrejuvenation. This finding might be beneficial for the elderly or those who need to boost their brain power due to other factors.
Effects of exercise on brain function
The results of a study on exercise and mental health were recently published in the journal Science. The study let old mice run for a long time and found that the protein in the brain of the old mice increased significantly. The chemical signals in the liver triggered by exercise help the old mice keep their brains sharp. The mysterious protein can promote the growth and connection of neurons. In addition to helping to improve memory and learning ability (such as remembering the location of hidden platforms in the pool), it also allows more neurons to grow in the brain and reduces brain neurons in mice. inflammatory response.
During the study, they injected older mice with the GPLD1 protein from young, active mice and found that the older mice performed as well as active young mice on learning and memory, and that the older mice had more of the protein in their hippocampus. neurons, making fewer errors in learning and memory tasks.
Mysterious protein released by exercise
Exercise can stimulate the production of a mysterious protein called GPLD1, researchers say. “GPLD1” is an enzyme produced by the liver and is a human enzyme. This mysterious protein plays an important role in regulating the immune system, reducing inflammation, and promoting the development of nerve cells. It has also received extensive attention for memory and learning, because GPLD1 can promote long-term enhancement of neurons, thereby enhancing learning and memory. Effect. Because of its role in the development of brain power, researchers have also gained insight into the protein’s role in neuron development, learning and repair. It means that long-term exercise can increase the Gpld1 protein content in plasma, and improve the cognition and memory of the aged brain.

The study, published in the journal Science, sheds new light on exercise, revealing that in addition to its physical benefits, exercise can also indirectly affect mental health. The researchers said that in the future, this protein can be used to develop new brain treatments, such as the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease, dementia, etc., and the treatment of diseases related to brain function. We can also regard it as a method of brain training while exercising, thereby improving our learning and memory, and enhancing the flexibility of the brain. The impact of exercise on the brain and cognitive impairment of the elderly is even more significant. For those who are not For the elderly who exercise regularly, if the blood composition in the body is changed by injecting protein, the brain will think that the person is exercising, and there is a chance to improve memory and reduce dementia, and the elderly will also have a young brain.
Old age is more likely to face the problems of brain cognitive decline and memory decline. The aforementioned problems will indirectly lead to the decline of the independent living ability of the elderly, which will have a serious impact on physical and mental health. This study allows people to better understand the positive impact of exercise on the brain of the elderly, and through more medical evidence, it can provide better life security for the elderly.
