đź§ VOâ‚‚ Max and Brain Health
Did you know that the way your body uses oxygen may play an important role in brain health?
VOâ‚‚ max measures how efficiently your body uses oxygen during exercise. It is widely recognized as an important indicator of cardiovascular fitness, and research suggests that cardiorespiratory fitness may also support cognitive function as we age.
The good news? Improving your VOâ‚‚ max does not require training like an elite athlete. Walking, strength training, interval training, and other forms of cardiovascular exercise can help improve how efficiently your body uses oxygen.
Small, consistent steps can support your heart, brain, and overall well-being.
