Chapter 19 Tonic for the brain

As soon as you walked in yesterday, you complained that the school arranges math class after physical education class. After exercising, you have to go to math class while sweating profusely. It is impossible to perform well. I smiled and comforted you: "Why don't you say that after the physical education class, just after exercising, the blood circulation is good, and the red blood cells have a strong ability to carry oxygen, which has increased your understanding of mathematics?" You probably thought I was joking, but I had a point.And by coincidence, when I opened the newspaper today, I saw a news article from Reuters.It is said that the American "Journal of Developmental Psychology" published a research report by the University of Pennsylvania——

"If ten-year-old girls spend more time on boys' sports competitions, regardless of whether they are interested in mathematics at the beginning, they will generally become more interested in mathematics after two years. Relatively, if boys spend more time on sports activities compared with girls Favorite activities, such as playing a musical instrument, will have better math scores after two years." Therefore, researchers suggest that parents should not let their daughters get tired of being with children of the same sex all day long; they also teach parents of boys to catch the crazy children and do some static activities.

After reading this article, I thought to myself: Maybe girls improve their mathematics after sports competitions because their blood circulation is better, which gives the brain more oxygen and helps them think mathematically.As for boys, it is not easy to calm down because they play ball and swim all day long, so learning some static things can also help them think. I also thought that in the past, everyone believed that boys were better at logical thinking than girls, and that men could recognize directions better than women. Maybe it was because girls were too quiet when they were growing up. As a result, the ability of red blood cells to carry oxygen is poor, physical strength is not as good as that of boys, and there is less training to identify directions?

"Oxygen-carrying capacity of red blood cells" is very important. Our body is like a large company, with many departments, and the people inside need food and drink, which must be transported and supplemented by special personnel.Red blood cells are like the transport workers. In some companies, the personnel are well-trained and efficient, and each worker can transport a lot of things.And some companies have poor personnel, and each person can only carry a small bag.Comparing these two companies, of course the former will be more successful in operation, right? Our bodies are very wonderful, and it can also be said that God is very wonderful, "God helps those who help themselves", and he takes special care of those in need.

For example, for people with osteoporosis, gravity training is particularly helpful; the elderly use their brains more, which helps prevent Alzheimer's disease.It can also be said that the more you don't use it, the more God thinks you don't need it, and takes it back early. In the same way, the more you exercise, the stronger the ability of red blood cells to carry oxygen. On the one hand, it increases physical strength, and on the other hand, because the oxygen and nutrients entering the brain increase, it also strengthens your intelligence. I recently read "It's All About the Brain", and I was very impressed by one of the chapters.

That is the author citing the research results of Dr. Tay Gield of the National Psychologist Research Center in the United States, who found that the cerebellum is the least affected by congenital and can be strengthened most acquired.In other words, if a person is not born smart enough, he can make up for it by exercising and strengthening the function of the cerebellum. Most people think that the cerebellum is only for movement and balance, and only those with well-developed limbs and simple minds will use it.Unexpectedly, the cerebellum is like a "military adviser" and a "herald soldier", which can transport important information to the relevant departments of the brain.

The author also said that many adolescent children face the pressure of entering a higher school, think that sports are the least important, and sit at the desk all day k book.In fact, if you can take a break and do some aerobic exercise, you can increase your learning efficiency by as much as 20 to 30%. Having said all this, if I ask you to go out to play badminton or go downstairs to practice table tennis, please don't say that you are busy with homework and have no time. Moderate exercise not only does not waste time, but also is the best way to help you enhance your mental and physical strength!
