READING 1 Listen and read. Take Care of Your BRAIN! We all know that it’s important to exercise, but we don’t always want to do it. Some people think that exercising every day is too hard, or that it takes too long. They think they don’t have time to exercise every day. Well, here’s some good news! If you exercise for only ten minutes a day, your body and your brain will feel better! In fact, some scientists believe that ten minutes of exercise every day can make you think faster and smarter! Exercise isn’t the only thing that’s good for your brain. Scientists believe that spending time outside is also great for your brain and your body. They know that your brain relaxes when you’re outdoors in a natural place like a forest. Some scientists think people should take a “forest bath,” or spend time in an outdoor place, whenever they can. Even laughing is good for your brain! When you laugh, especially if you laugh out loud, your brain gets more blood than when you’re sad! Your whole body can feel better for up to 45 minutes after a good laugh! Think about it. Are you taking good care of your brain? Do you get enough exercise? Do you spend enough time outdoors? Do you laugh enough?
