But did you know it also improves cognition in the condition of the brain?

但你知道它還能提高大腦的認知能力嗎？

BYU cell biology and physiology professor Jeff Edwards provides three ways that exercise affects the mind and can improve your quality of life.

比亞大學細胞生物學和生理學教授傑夫-愛德華茲（Jeff Edwards）介紹了運動影響心智並提高生活品質的三種方法。

Exercise feeds the brain.

運動能健腦

Due to its high metabolic demand, the brain needs good circulation, and exercise induces strong blood flow to deliver all the nutrients required to carry out the brain's job.

由於新陳代謝需求旺盛，大腦需要良好的血液循環，而運動能促進血液流動，為大腦提供工作所需的各種營養物質。

Exercise also secures priceless memories.

運動還能留下無價的回憶。

People hold their memories dear, yet in reality we only remember a fraction of our lives.

人們珍視自己的記憶，但實際上，我們只記得生命中的一小部分。

Exercise improves memory by increasing molecular targets like the brain-derived neurotrophic factor.

運動可通過增加腦源性神經營養因子等分子目標來改善記憶。

The more brain-derived neurotrophic factor, the more the memory improves in function and capacity.

腦源性神經營養因子越多，記憶的功能和能力就越強。

Finally, exercise indirectly pacifies stress.

最後，運動能間接緩解壓力。

Exercise reduces stress receptors in the hippocampus and minimizes the effect of stress hormones on the brain.

運動能減少海馬體中的壓力受體，並將壓力荷爾蒙對大腦的影響降至最低。

Additionally, working out stimulates the release of endorphins that act on opiate receptors in the brain to create the blissful feeling of a workout high.

此外，鍛鍊會刺激內啡肽的釋放，而內啡肽會作用於大腦中的鴉片受體，從而產生鍛鍊後興奮的幸福感。

If the well-known benefits of exercise don't motivate you to start moving, hopefully the unexpected impact of exercise on your brain and cognition will.

如果眾所周知的運動好處還不能促使您開始運動，那麼希望運動對大腦和認知能力的意想不到的影響會促使您開始運動。

So, show your brain some love and start exercising.

所以，愛護你的大腦，開始鍛鍊吧。
