Get More Exercise Next Year!

Aerobic Exercise is Your Best New Year's Resolution

Watch the ScienCentral video showing why exercise increases mental alertness. The research by Judy Cameron, a neuroscientist at the Oregon National Primate Research Center run by the Oregon Health and Sciences University reported more blood flow to the brain, carrying more oxygen and metabolic nutrients.

Once you get going -- keep going. Blood vessel volume returned to pre-exercise levels in the monkey group that were sedentary for three months after the regular exercise regime.
