Title: physically fit helps women stay mentally fit
Post by: 4cm in Pacific Northwest on January 08, 2009, 09:28:09 pm

I wanted to share this Canadian news headline with you-all- about results of a health study.

"Why staying physically fit helps women stay mentally fit"

CBC news

Keep exercising and stay as active as you can!

DHM:

Thanks for the link.  I read the article and it certainly makes sense although I think it really applies to both sexes.  To be honest, I believe the premise that exercise aids blood flow to the brain and helps it process more effectively is a fairly well-established fact.   However, it doesn't hurt to be reminded every so often.  Thanks for doing that.  :)
