According to new research, exercise isn't just good for the body. It can also sharpen the mind.

Scientists have shown that exercise is linked to brain changes throughout all stages of life and can help the brain develop and stay healthy.

Babies, for example, need regular exercise to form connections in the brain. In children, research suggests that exercise improves attention, focus and school performance. In the elderly, exercise has been shown to help slow memory loss.
