Evidence is accumulating that exercise has profound benefits for brain function. Physical activity improves learning and memory in humans and animals. Moreover, an active lifestyle might prevent or delay loss of cognitive function with aging or neurodegenerative disease. Recent research indicates that the effects of exercise on the brain can be enhanced by concurrent consumption of natural products such as omega fatty acids or plant polyphenols. The potential synergy between diet and exercise could involve common cellular pathways important for neurogenesis, cell survival, synaptic plasticity and vascular function. Optimal maintenance of brain health might depend on exercise and intake of natural products.
越来越多的证据表明,运动对大脑功能有深远益处。体育活动可改善人类和动物的学习与记忆。此外,积极的生活方式可能预防或延缓因衰老或神经退行性疾病导致的认知功能丧失。最近的研究表明,同时摄入天然产物(如ω脂肪酸或植物多酚)可增强运动对大脑的影响。饮食与运动之间的潜在协同作用可能涉及对神经发生、细胞存活、突触可塑性和血管功能至关重要的共同细胞途径。大脑健康的最佳维持可能取决于运动和天然产物的摄入。
