Exercising for 30 minutes improves memory and cognitive performance for the day ahead and the day after, suggests a new study. These studies suggested benefits could be down to an increased blood flow to the brain and stimulation of chemicals known as neurotransmitters.

Peppermint tea boosts memory and attention—but why?
Can a cup of peppermint tea sharpen your mind? A new study suggests it can—but not in the way scientists expected. Improved memory and attention followed the tea, but increased brain blood flow wasn't the reason why.
Stepping Into a Game 🎮 Helped Older Adults Reclaim Their Memory 🧠. Research found not only did memory scores improve, but MRI scans showed the hippocampus and thalamus—brain regions usually shrinking with dementia—actually grew in volume. 📈

💪 A 20-minute workout or a 90-minute nap can significantly improve memory after 30 hours without sleep, with participants performing about 22% better on memory tests.
🧠 While both exercise and napping boosted memory, they worked differently: naps helped the brain recharge, while exercise made it use its resources more efficiently.
💡 These findings offer practical ways to maintain cognitive function, especially in demanding jobs where sleep loss is common, suggesting exercise as an accessible alternative when naps aren't feasible.
