The effects of physical exercise on the brain and oral health

There has long been discussion regarding the positive effects of physical exercise on brain activity. Exercising is used as a non-pharmacological treatment in many chronic diseases. Exercise has been shown to have beneficial effects on brain functions in humans and animals and, therefore, exercise is very important for brain rehabilitation and remodeling. Several studies have shown the beneficial effects of aerobic and resistance exercises in adult and geriatric populations. In addition, physical activity may improve self-esteem and feelings of self-worth in young adults.
