Polar bears are in danger of extinction in the future if globalwarming continues, as their habitat, Arctic sea ice, is shrinkingevery year, making it difficult for bears to have enough food tolast through the lengthening summers.With a population of nearly 25,000, the polar bear is not in dangerof extinction now.
Aerobic exercise stimulates the growth of new neurons, also known as neurogenesis through the release of brain-derived neurotopic factors. Endurance exercises release Irisin, a hormone linked to improved cognitive function, fat loss and overall health.
Remarkably, a large body of new research has revealed that aerobic exercise not only builds muscle, it builds brain tissue. Aerobic exercise stimulates the birth of new neurons in specific parts of the brain where neurons can still divide in adults, including the hippocampus, which is involved in learning.
