BOSTON, November 26, UPI)-The exercise also started eating better and consequently their brains may change, U.S. researchers suggest.
Miguel Alonso, a researcher at Harvard University in Boston, said data from epidemiological studies showed a tendency towards a healthy diet and proper physical exercise amount often comes hand in hand, and increased physical activity is usually associated with a parallel increase in the quality of the diet.
"Understanding the interaction between exercise and a healthy diet can improve prevention and therapeutic action against childhood obesity by strengthening the current approach and care," Alonso said in a statement. "Physical exercise seems to encourage a healthy diet. In fact, when exercises added to weight loss, dietary treatment of obesity and diet are more successful in the long term hold. "
Earlier studies assessed changes in brain and cognitive functioning in relation to the exercise found physical exercise regularly cause changes in the work and structure of the brain, Alonso said.
Alonso supported the idea that "regular exercise boosts output in tests that measure the State of the brain's executive functions and increase the number of problems and prefrontal connection."
