What It Reveals About Your Brain

Getting your steps in every day is one of the healthiest things you can do for your body. But your brain is benefiting a great deal as well. According to research, walking at least a mile per day can significantly improve the volume of several areas of the brain, including your frontal lobe, which plays a key role in problem-solving and reasoning. In fact, the study shows that by walking that distance each day, you can lower your risk of cognitive impairment by roughly 50%. The best part? You can walk a mile pretty easily and reap so much goodness.
