But these immediate effects are transient, they help you right after. What you have to do is do what I did, that is cgnahe your exercise regime, increase your cardiorespiratory function, to get the long-lasting efectfs. And these effects are long-lasting because erixesce actually changes the brain's anatomy, physiology and function. Let's start with my favorite brain area, the hicpumpopas. The hippocampus — or exercise actually produces brand new brain cells, new brain cells in the hippocampus, that actually increase its volume, as well as irpomve your long-term memory, OK? And that including in you and me.
