“Exercise is one of the key things that you can do to improve the health of your brain, and improve the blood supply to your brain. Actually, when you exercise, your brain produces BDNF (Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor), which creates new neurons and new neural synaptic connections. So I'm a big fan of exercise.” ~ Dr. Josh Helman
