Just 10 minutes of this exercise can benefit your brain and make you feel more uplifted, according to a study

A study conducted by Japanese scientists suggests that just 10 minutes of slow running, at a pace slightly faster than walking, can immediately alter brain activity in individuals, potentially improving cognitive abilities and mood. The research was published in 'Imaging Neuroscience' and led by Professor Emeritus Hideaki Soya from the University of Tsukuba. Previous studies have shown physical activity benefits both physical and mental health, but this study specifically examines minimal exercise intensity. In earlier experiments with mice, those that ran slowly showed increased neural activity related to memory and thought processes, while inactive mice did not exhibit significant changes. A 2021 study involving 26 healthy adults found that 10 minutes of moderate-paced running improved mood and cognitive function. This latest research explores whether slower, more accessible forms of exercise could yield similar results.

Bias read (Center): The article presents scientific findings without overt ideological framing. It discusses the physiological and psychological effects of exercise on the brain, focusing on empirical data rather than political implications. While the study has potential public health relevance, the tone remains purely
