Make Your Brain 5 Years Younger In 1 Hour A Week

Your doctor has some choices to make; 

1. Get you recovered enough so you can do this aerobic exercise. 

2. Give you EXACT PROTOCOLS to recover

your 5 lost cognitive years from the stroke.

And give you 100% motor recovery protocols.

 

3. I suppose your doctor could do nothing and let you figure this out yourself. My doctor knew nothing and did nothing so I was left completely on my own to figure out my recovery. As you can tell, I am nowhere near to recovery, cognition is damn good, spasticity is the pits preventing my motor recovery.

Exercise helps pump more blood to the parts of the brain vital to these functions.
Dr Marc J. Poulin, the study’s first author, said:

“As we all find out eventually, we lose a bit mentally and physically as we age.
But even if you start an exercise program later in life, the benefit to your brain may be immense.
Sure, aerobic exercise gets blood moving through your body.
As our study found, it may also get blood moving to your brain, particularly in areas responsible for verbal fluency and executive functions.
Our finding may be important, especially for older adults at risk for Alzheimer’s and other dementias and brain disease.”

The study included 206 adults with an average of age of 66 who did little exercise.
They started doing aerobic workouts of between between 20 and 40 minutes per day, three times a week.
After six months they performed 6 percent better on thinking skills and improved their verbal fluency by 2.4 percent.

Dr Poulin said:

“This change in verbal fluency is what you’d expect to see in someone five years younger.”

Blood flow also increased to the brain by 2.8 percent.(We need this increase IMMEDIATELY POST STROKE. What the fuck is your doctor doing to insure that occurs?)

Dr Poulin said:

“Our study showed that six months’ worth of vigorous exercise may pump blood to regions of the brain that specifically improve your verbal skills as well as memory and mental sharpness.
At a time when these results would be expected to be decreasing due to normal aging, to have these types of increases is exciting.”
