Abstract in brief

Regular physical activity, especially aerobic exercise, has been shown through neuroimaging studies to improve cognitive health throughout life, helping to preserve brain tissue and enhance functions related to attention and information processing.
Exercise contributes to brain health by influencing molecular processes such as energy metabolism and synaptic plasticity, with brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) playing a key role in this enhancement.
Combining exercise with other healthy lifestyle factors, particularly certain dietary choices, can synergistically support brain function and serve as a non-invasive strategy to prevent or manage neurological and cognitive disorders.
