Exercise helps cure the many ills associated with sedentary life. It has lots of positive effects on the brain:<br /> * it improves learning, concentration, and memory<br /> * it ameliorates stress, anxiety, and depression<br /> <br /> Recommendations for diet:<br /> * reduce total calorie consumption<br /> * fresh fruits and vegetables<br /> * don&#039;t mess with low-carb diets<br /> * fish oil is good for both the cardiovascular system and the brain<br /> <br /> Recommendations for exercise:<br /> * ramp up slowly<br /> * good is 30 minutes/day, 5 days/week, best is 60 minutes/day, 6 days/week<br /> * use a heart rate monitor. Maximum heart rate is estimated to be 220 - age. Target heart rate is 70% - 90% of maximum.<br /> * sprinting (at 90% of maximum heart rate) for short intervals is the key to burning off belly fat</div>
