New discovery: This is the best amount of exercise

Many fitness enthusiasts tend to go 'crazy' with their workouts in the belief that they will become healthier or have a more perfect body.

However, new research, recently published in the scientific journal Health Data Science , has found the answer to the above problem.

The study, led by Associate Professor Chenjie Xu from the Department of Public Health , Hangzhou Normal University, in collaboration with Tianjin University of Traditional Chinese Medicine and Tianjin Medical University (China), analyzed data from exercise monitors and brain MRI scans of 16,972 participants, aged 37-73.

Moderate exercise slows brain aging

To get accurate, objective results, researchers measured physical activity levels using wrist-worn accelerometers to quantify exercise levels from light, moderate to vigorous.

The results found that moderate exercise is best for slowing brain aging, protecting cognition and brain structure. Conversely, exercising too little or too much can be counterproductive, according to science news site Scitech Daily .

The study not only confirms the relationship between exercise levels and brain aging on a large scale, but also provides useful insight that more exercise is not always better, but moderation is the key, said Associate Professor Xu, according to Scitech Daily .
