When it comes to growing new brain cells and creating new healthy connections between our neurons, one molecule has been key to the conversation, bdnf (brain-derived neurotrophic factor). Now recent indicates BDNF levels may be most elevated in the context of one specific form of exercise. That exercise? Resistance training. This is all the more reason for us to prioritize weightlifting and resistance against body weight or bands as a key intervention for promoting brain health. If you’d like to
