Why Gross Motor Opportunities Build Brain Power - Scott Noyes

The human brain evolved while the body was in almost consistent motion. We were designed to move and think at the same time. The presentation looks at why the benefits of body movement include boosting brain power. Physical exertion gets blood to the brain, bringing it glucose for energy and oxygen to soak up the toxins that are left over. It also stimulates the protein that keeps neurons connecting, BDNF, Brain Derived Neurotropic Factor. This protein acts as fertilizer for the brain. As in ourselves, our children can improve thinking skills by moving.
