    A reply on Talk: Michael Merzenich: Growing evidence of brain plasticity

    Dec 5 2012: There are 2 types of exercise that will help your brain - physical and mental. Walking has repeatedly shown to be the best form of physical exercise to improve brain health and function. At least 1/2 hour per day every day. Or you can take it to the next level and aim for 10,000 steps per day. Many experts agree that exercise will help your brain more than thinking does!
    Brain training programs like Lumosity, Posit Science, or Anti-aging Games are only one way to stimulate and challenge your brain. Other activities such as learning a language, playing music, and creating art are believed to work just as well, if not better. Brain training programs are still in their infancy and undoubtedly will get better.
