Are you feeding your mind in the morning? (That jolt of coffee doesn't count because that's just artificial stimulation.) Exercise increases the birth and development of new nerve cells in your brain—the very components of your brain that slow down and even die because of stress. A recent study shows that people who don't exercise much exhibit greater stress-related atrophy of the hippocampal area of the brain compared with those who are more physically active. You want to keep the stressors down because the hippocampus affects long- and short-term memory along with a myriad of other important functions. Source
