Embracing ancestral forms of movement in modern ways, like walking, jogging, swimming, yoga, rock climbing, weight lifting or cycling, helps us maintain our well-being and longevity.
Research has shown that physical exercise enhances neuroplasticity, which is the brain's ability to adapt and reorganize itself. This is crucial for learning, memory, and cognitive resilience. It helps improve mental health, metabolic and cardiovascular health. Physical activity also helps improve liver function and reduce liver fat.
