Balance and Brain Function

I'm recommending a link as backup evidence of what I saw with my own husband's recovery after his TBI. As Hugh worked on his balance and strength training, his cognitive abilities soared. In my opinion, and apart from any science, I saw the greatest improvements in him when he began cycling and surfing again, two sports that require high levels of balance. The particular study I am posting was performed on elderly people in their upper 80's, which gives me great hope that ALL of us can improve our physical and cognitive abilities throughout our lives by improving our strength and balance. And, so what if it doesn't work...we will become stronger anyway, and it can't hurt to try this!

Deciding what particular routine should be done to achieve these results should be determined by each individual with their doctor. Best of luck. Keep striving! Here's the link:
