Take Recess.
Although the research in this NYT health blog leaves a little to be desired from a scientific validity standpoint, the results support the fact that the human brain can see great benefits from aerobic exercise. I wont surprise anyone by saying exercise is beneficial to our mind's health, but this article explains that activities like swimming, brisk walking, running, and cycling ( I'm sure some of you can think of other things to do to keep your heart rate up) may actually allow the brain to recall more information than anaerobic activities like walking, pleasure jogging, or weightlifting. So, if you want to keep your brain in shape, find something that works for you to make you pant and puff each day. Oh, and don't forget to read.
