690. Brain Regeneration
The Doctor Is In Podcast - A podcast by Dr. A.W. Martin and Dr. A.P. Martin
Dr. Martin breaks down an interesting study about neurogenesis, which is the regeneration of neurons, the nerve cells in your brain. The key factor in regenerating your brain is something called Brain Derived Neurotrophic Factor, or BDNF. It’s essentially a gauge for how much regenerative power you have. The study shared 4 specific things you can do to increase your BDNF. Implementing exercise, the real vitamin E, was one of them. Researchers were able to increase the BDNF of elderly individuals at high risk for Alzheimer's and dementia by 1800% just by getting them to exercise! Don’t miss today’s episode to learn the other items, and two more that Dr. Martin suggests.
