Daily Habit Boosts Memory and Mood After 40, Experts Say

Experts recommend incorporating exercise into your daily routine to boost memory and mood, especially as we age. Exercise helps remove toxins from the body and triggers the release of "feel good" chemicals like serotonin, oxytocin, and dopamine in the brain. It also increases the production of neurotransmitters that maintain cognitive functions such as memory, concentration, problem-solving, and learning efficiency. Exercising outdoors offers the added benefit of Vitamin D from sunlight exposure, which can reduce anxiety and depression while improving overall wellbeing.
