Exercise is beneficial to many aspects of our health, including physical and brain health. In a recent episode of Let’s Get Moving with Maria podcast, Maria Shilaos interviewed Alex Martinez, CEO and Co-Founder of Intrinsic Medicine, to discuss the types of exercise that can improve cognitive function.
Martinez emphasized that while any type of activity is better than none, the specific type of exercise can have a significant impact on brain health. High-intensity interval training (HIIT) is particularly effective in improving neuron profiles, neurotransmitter signals, and cognitive function. Martinez recommended finding an appropriate HIIT based on individual needs and using tools such as heart monitors to ensure safety during exercise.
It is important to prioritize safety in any exercise routine, especially when engaging in high-intensity workouts. By monitoring heart rate max and aiming for at least 90-95% during intense exercise, individuals can optimize the benefits for brain health.
