The Secret to Remembering Reading: Exercising exactly 4 hours later

Scientists say that if you do physical exercise or exercise exactly four hours after learning something. It can remember very well.

Dutch scientists are talking about this technique to remember something.

They say this after researching the memory of 72 people.

Scientists say that protein is releas from the body during exercise.

The protein strengthens the part of the brain that stores memory.

But this study says that in remembering something. A lot depends on how long the protein is releas from the body.

They say that exercising not immediately after studying. But four hours later, is the most effective in remembering what you read.

A type of memory-boosting protein that helps strengthen memory

First, 72 people collected for this study. They study for 40 minutes first.

Then they divided into three groups.

Members of one group began exercising immediately after studying. The second group exercised four hours after studying. And the third group didn’t do any kind of exercise.

The members of the first two groups exercised for 35 minutes by cycling.

After two days, all three groups tested to see how much they could remember.

It found that the second group, that is, those who exercised four hours after studying.

MRI images of each brain showed that the part of the brain – the hippocampus. Which is responsible for remembering something, was sharper and fresher in the brains of the second group.

It believed that the chemicals produced in the body as a result of physical activity. Such as dopamine, and norepinephrine, can help strengthen memory.

He says the results of their experiment suggest that timed exercise can improve memory in the long term.

It is also possible to strengthen memories that have weakened.

However, the mystery of why exercising a few hours later is good for memory is still not clear.
