A Cambridge University study has found that jogging isn't just good for your health, it can also have a positive impact on mental ability, The Age's Executive Style reports.
Researchers say the act of running can lead to the growth of thousands of new brain cells and, as a result, boost a person's ability to recall memories.
The study also suggests that running helps to reduce stress because the brain is unable to produce new brain cells when a person is under mental pressure.
So if you've ever considered introducing a jogging group to your workplace or thought about investing in a treadmill it appears the proof you need to act has arrived.
