Use of brain?
You may think it is about solving maths problems or creating a new smartphone app that will make you a millionaire. But neuroscientist Daniel Wolpert says that our brain is for one thing only.
To Produce Adaptable and Complex movement
How?
Take the example of the Koala Bear(an iconic Australian animal). In the past, it had a much bigger brain but once it adapted its digestive system to derive all the energy it needs from Eucalyptus leaves, it did not have to move as much, less movement meant less brain activity and its brain shrunk.
LESS MOVEMENT => LESS BRAIN ACTIVITY
Proof in Spark
A 2007 study has shown that exercise also primes the brain to learn faster. People who did high-intensity training beforehand were able to learn vocabulary 20% faster than those who remained inactive.
Point of high importance
When you exercise you might not feel drastic change all of a sudden but later on you will look back and notice the difference in learning speed, mood, and focus and get more things done.
