Walk-up for Brain energy

Are you feeling stressed?

Are you feeling bored with your work in front of a computer?

Then walk from top floors to down stairs for 10 minutes through steps.

Here is a little solution has found to energize your brain, which was revealed by the researcher of the University of Georgia.

In brief details, A small study among students found that walking up and down the stairs at a low-intensity pace for 10 minutes was more energizing than a midday shot of caffeine‚ equivalent to the amount in a can of soda.

A Professor Patrick O'Connor said that there wasn’t much change in how the group felt after taking a caffeine or placebo capsule on separate days.

"But with exercise, they did feel more energetic and vigorous. It was a temporary feeling‚ felt immediately after the exercise."

The total research involved 18 chronically sleep-deprived people and aimed to simulate an office setting where people don't have much time to exercise.

In total, the participants walked about 30 floors in 10 minutes at a regular pace. They had performed verbal and computer-based tests before and after the exercise to see how well they performed cognitively.
