Improve Decision Making Ability

In this interesting speech by Dr. John Medina, aerobic exercise improves executive decision making ability, but not memory skills. Toning exercises have no effect on brain function. Twenty minute aerobic workouts 3 times a week is all you need to improve decision making ability. Aerobic exercise also decreases the probability of suffering from dementia.

Also, if you experience constant stress caused by a situation that you believe is beyond your control, brain cells in the hippocampus area of the brain will start to die, which impedes your ability to learn.
