Studies show that sitting too much can raise your risk of cancer, diabetes, and heart disease.
But getting up to walk around your block, dance to your favorite song, or do chores around your house could vastly improve your health and increase your brain function.
That's the message of the new physical fitness guidelines issued by the federal government last week.
"A single bout of exercise has an immediate effect on brain health," said Charles Hillman, a cognitive neuroscientist at Northeastern who helped to create the new guidelines by analyzing 10 years of scientific literature on physical activity and brain health. "Every time you're active, you feel better, think better, and sleep better."
