Correct. That's why you want to walk. You want to set the foundations. Everything is done in levels. You set the foundations. You build up some angiogenesis, the creation of new blood vessels. You build up your muscles. You build up your tolerance to CO2, right? Then what you want to do is you want to pick it up a notch.

Maybe you jog, maybe you get on a bike, you go a bit harder, and then you build yourself up to be doing maximal aerobic exercise.

So we've got gray matter in the brain and that sits on the outer cortex and they are the cell bodies of the neuron. So the neuron being the chief brain cell and the only electrically active brain cell consists of a cell body, just like the cells in your body. And then you've got this axon that comes off it. The axon has the myelin sheath and that's called the white matter.

So that's the white matter of the brain. And that's where we have speed of thought. We call it conduction velocity in neurophysiology. So that's where our myelinated neurons are. That's the white matter. The gray matter is the cell bodies. That sits on the outside. And we know now that around 70% to 80% of brain gray matter is modifiable by exercise. Modifiable.

Now, the cell body has these little legs that come out. They're called dendrites. And those dendrites will stick to other dendrites of nearby cells. And when they connect, they create a synapse, an electrical synapse. electrical chemical reaction that happens. Okay. And that's what produces our thoughts and our actions. But over time, those dendrites die off, but we can grow new dendrites.

And that's what is responsible for greater cortical area and greater cortical mass. And we do that through exercise. So you get greater connections between these cells. So more connections, therefore speed of thought is happening, greater capacity to hear, to learn, to remember, to tell yourself to go to sleep. All of this matters.

If you care about your brain, you have to love exercise.
