Summary of the webinar:
Regular exercise has a powerful and positive impact on the brain. It helps create new brain cells and protects the brain from damage caused by oxidative stress, which can reduce the risk of diseases like Alzheimer's. Exercise also boosts the production of proteins that support memory, learning, and mental health, including fighting off depression. The presentation will focus on how exercise supports brain health.
