Exercise can increase the production of a key protein that is likely to help in keeping the brain active as well as lower the risk of neurological diseases like dementia a new study conducted on mice has found. The findings showed that during the rodents' exercise routine certain chemicals naturally build up in the brain and kick-start the production of BDNF -- also called Miracle-Gro -- for the brain because of its role in enhancing memory and the growth of nerve cells. We believe that our study shows a precise biological mechanism behind increased BDNF production in mammals due to
