THE BENEFITS OF SWIMMING FOR YOUR BRAIN//WHY SWIMMING IS SO GOOD FOR YOUR BRAIN AND WELL-BEING
Swimming is an excellent cardiovascular exercise that strengthens your heart and circulatory system. But it also really benefits your brain and mental health. It encourages the brain to release brain chemicals that elevate your mood and repairs damage to brain cells and grows new ones to improve your memory. Cold water swimming triggers the release of a ‘cold-shock’ protein that slows down the onset of dementia. So swimming in water builds and repairs your brain while your worries drift away.

I swim three times per week and I feel relax

@JamesonChosen 6 месяцев назад

It’s good to feel relaxed and have no stress, better life expectancy :)

I started sea swimming three weeks ago. I’m already an addict! I had heard people say that it was good for the brain but I didn’t realise how quick it would be. Like with all my hobbies, I keep buying equipment - “all the gear no idea” but I love it!

Thank you so much for the video, I am curious if you have done any deeper research into the link between swimming and sleep, I clicked on your video because I have observed this too but didn’t know why and am in need of better sleep now. Thanks again!

Does exercise or swimming specifically rebuild the brain. I cold water swim in the sea.

@@DrBenWebb thanks. How open water is different from pool swimming? Or is it general for swimming

@DrBenWebb 2 года назад

@@baraklevy3344 All swimming is beneficial for your brain health, but open water swimming also helps to boost your immune system and reduces your risk of chronic health conditions, like cancer, dementia, and type 2 diabetes.

Cold water swimming/open water swimming absolutely works! My wife commented on my "happier me" after my 3rd swim...No kidding. Prior military/law enforcement, have a lot of negative stuff going on in my limited capacity brain. Highly recommend cold water swimming, intermittent fasting (time restricted feeding) and eating well (limited or no sugar/refined foods). Hope this helps or encourages someone to try this...It's truly life changing!

@@beverleyquarry7412 my top three tips are go to bed at the same every night, wake up the same time every morning, get out early in the morning into natural sunlight, and execie early in the day. These all tune your brain to initiate sleep at the same time and sustain sleep.

Hello I heard a doctor talk about chlorine in public pools and negative impact on gut microbiomes healthy bacteria and that the gut is related to the brain..can you please speak to that..is chlorine a problem for brain health for regular lap swimmers in public pools?

@DrBenWebb 2 года назад

Thank you for your comment. Chlorine does, unfortunately, kill bacteria in your gut microbiome which can compromise your gut health and brain health. Open water swimming in unchlorinated water is the ideal environment for your gut and brain health, but I know not always possible or accessible.

@paulafelipe1694 2 года назад

@@DrBenWebb Thank you! I've been lap swimming about 4-5 times a week in a public pool so getting lots of exposure to Chlorine--I know I'm getting benefits and just wondered if the benefits outweighed the risks of being exposed to too much chlorine and unfortunately the public pool is indoors so there is chlorine gas due to chlorine mixing with people's perfumes, lotions, hairsprays--yes, people are supposed to shower before entering the pool but I don't think everyone follows that rule.
