Everyone knows that exercising regularly is the only way to live a healthy and happy life. Whether you run a marathon or just go for a bike ride around the neighborhood, your body will thank you for keeping active.
And the same goes for the brain. Of course, we use our minds all the time, but hardly in a way you can call exercise. After all, work and studies usually come with plenty of pressure and stress. To stay sharp, you need to exercise those brain cells regularly, but in a more relaxed manner.
