Resistance Training and Brain Health

Home Resistance Training and Brain Health

11 Mar 2024

Resistance training is widely associated with physical strength and muscle building, however, it also offers significant benefits for brain health.

?️‍♀️Evidence shows that regular resistance training can enhance cognitive functions, improve memory, and increase brain plasticity.

?️‍♀️This type of exercise stimulates the release of growth factors, such as brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), which plays a critical role in brain cell growth, mood regulation, and learning processes.

?️‍♀️It can also help combat age-related brain degeneration. It promotes the flow of blood to the brain, which is essential for delivering nutrients and oxygen that the brain needs to function optimally. This increased blood flow also supports the removal of waste products from brain cells, potentially reducing the risk of neurodegenerative diseases.

?️‍♀️Additionally, resistance training can have a positive impact on mental health. It is known to reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression, improve sleep quality, and boost self-esteem. By engaging in regular resistance exercises, individuals can experience an overall improvement in their mental health and cognitive function.

Resistance training goes beyond just physical benefits; it is a powerful tool for enhancing brain health, improving cognitive functions, and maintaining mental well-being throughout life.

Resistance training can start at ANY age, I have patients starting in their 70’s and they love it- start low and go slow. Let me know how you get on.

Testimonials

“

I recently had the most thorough health check from Measure Health. Dr Shonella Singh explained everything in detail, she took her time to go through my medical history and the health package I chose was very comprehensive. The consultation was thorough and not rushed, the examination was all very gentle and the MRI results were explained to me so well. I feel that Measure Health provides an excellent service for anyone who cares about their health and wants to be proactive. It’s great to know you’ll be either detecting a problem early on, or gaining reassurance that all is ok. In my case, I was lucky enough to be in the latter group. I learned a lot of health tips including self-examination tips, healthy eating advice and when/what to check for in the near and distant future. An amazing service and a worthwhile investment for patients! Thank you Measure Health!

This is a really great service which is conducted in a professional manner and gives the individual a thorough "head to toe" examination.

It's really very reassuring to have this service available to us as it confirms that everything is working as it is meant to.

If I could give 10,000 stars, I would! Dr Singh was professional, empathic and made sure all my questions and concerns were answered with detail. I find that most medical appointments can feel rushed and what stood out for me was that Dr Singh spent a while going through the questionnaire and results.

In comparison to the standard Bupa and Nutfield medicals, I felt this checkup was far more thorough. A great smile and the perfect bedside manner!

Dr Shonella Singh is very knowledgeable, pleasant, courteous and a good listener. She examined me thoroughly and addressed all my health issues giving me enough time to discuss all my concerns. I have never felt so comfortable with any other GP. On my follow up meeting she explained all my results thoroughly and and explicitly with a detailed written report. I highly recommend Measure Health and Dr Shonella Singh to anyone looking for thorough and high-quality care.

Shonella was so attentive and really listened to our health concerns and worries. The entire process was managed so well and I highly recomend her to others. Her level of knowledge and experience is hard to find and her kindness and ongoing care for her patients is outstanding.
