Using cutting-edge RNA sequencing and mouse models, researchers identified changes in specific cells like microglia and a novel type of astrocyte after exercise.

      I think the important part overall is cardio. You need to elevate your heart rate for sustained periods of time. Lifting weights is better than not, but your brain benefits from the increased and improved blood flow “to clean out the garbage” (much like quality sleep).

          It actually increases the risk of dementia: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7355582/

          Have you tried daily exercise, mindfulness, and anxiety-reducing supplements?
