Do running or lifting give you brain damage?

[Anonymous No.10545874]

I'm totally serious.
I don't think Gödel or von Neumann were into those kind of activities.
Yet they were geniuses.
Is it possible that all that shaking and body strain are bad for the brain?

excessive peak blood pressure (ie when lifting very heavy weights) does cause problems. Veins might pop. I think trichoid vessels are damaged. Someone else might know better though.

but, they were not lard asses either. They probably had alot of physical activity during their childhood... since that was the only thing to do back in the day.

"Physical exercise increases circulation, which leads to better oxygen supply to the brain, as well as providing the brain with nutrients"
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5923842/

Obesity throughout childhood development is probably the biggest mind killer. Literally clouds of methylation in the brain which affects DNA expression...

As for overdoing it. Running, lifting or anything physical for that mater, can cause damage, if you over do it.

How much is overdoing it?
Could running every day for 30 min be too much?

no, the human body is designed around running the way the A10 warthog is designed around its autocannon. Running will make you think faster and has virtually no risks unless you do it for 20 hours straight til your heart starts deconstructing. Any shaking is well within the design limits of your body. It's the safest and most effective way to overclock your brain. Or at least that's been my experience

Thank you.
Running makes me feel better, improves my sleep and gives me mildly pleasant body feelings throughout the day.
I never run enough to get the runner's high though.

Yes, it could be too much. Everyone is different. If you're an out of shape, weak, lumpy, fatty, then everything will be more taxing, difficult and strenuous... just to maintain health will be hard. Some physical activity everyday is good for maintenance, even if it's just walking. You probably won't live past 60 if you can't walk around without becoming winded.

It's simple really. The human body is incredibly resilient, the healthier one is.

However, if someone is out of shape and/or gasping for air over a long period of time. It probably does affect the heart/brain negatively. If you have dysfunctional breathing, getting dizzy or you see blood pouring from your nose, or anything else abnormal/painful... then it's probably not a good thing to continue.

Dolph Lundgren does contact sparring and was a bouncer, then was a Fulbright scholar at MIT and masters in Chem Eng. Most people are not Godel or Von Neumann, it's not exercising stopping them from getting there. Those guys just have so much to think about they couldn't be fucked to take care of themselves physically

just take care of your knees and feet though, that's the only real risk. Get good shoes and replace them often enough

High blood pressure is in general associated with accelerated neurodegeneration. You are likelier to suffer from dementia, Alzheimer and parkinson in old age.
>>10545874
As >>10545989 says, there is not really any major risk as long as you don't shake your head like you had a water-powered piston instead of cervical vertebrae in your neck.
Keep in mind that the consistency of our brain is essentially that of mayonnaise, so it is relatively resistant to vibrations as long as it is given the space to absorb the momentum.

I think running makes you stupid. There are these people that run every morning in the middle of the road around 8am when everyone else is trying to get to work. And they shoot this look of disgust toward any cars zipping past them. And to beat all, there is a park not far away they could be running in.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Masters_Swimming

There is a reason why a lot of senior citizens take up swimming.

Join the United States Masters Swimming program.

They are kind to newbies and have a lot of experience, training out of shape old folks how to swim safely and efficiently.

https://www.usms.org/

Originally started for young people but then program expanded to senior citizens as it gained in popularity.

High chance of meeting ex professional swimmers or coaches or amateur pro swimmers who can give you a lot of great advice.

No pressure to race competitively despite the name of the program but if you get good enough, there are amateur tournaments for those with a competitive drive.

Not unless it's a really severe shake, something like whiplash can literally damage your brain by bouncing it off the inside of your skull, but you can't get that kind of thing from running or lifting. If you just pump some iron and run a mile every day or swim laps and bike and other shit like that you can only really experience good effects (obviously barring you fucking up and injuring yourself). If you overstress your cardiovascular system by forcing your body too far beyond its limits like bodybuilders you'll be putting yourself at higher risks of circulatory system related brain injuries, if you run marathons every single week or shit like that you'll fuck your knees and hips up and spend your twilight years in constant pain, but you'd have to basically dedicate almost all of your life and time to exercise for it to reach the point where it's going to do you permanent physical damage.

I'm not going to search for the paper but I read a study that said caridovascular exercise was one of the only known way to combat age related brain deterioration. The paper pretty much surmised that cardiovascular exercise increases blood flow to the brain which has a positive effect combating age related degeneration.

How about walking vs running.

[Anonymous No.10550183]

Nope, it does not.
Only issues could be falling and having a concussion or something, but the brain's regeneration abilities are immense.
In fact, exercise helps stop brain degeneration by age.
Exercise does not make you smarter, though.

The answer is simple. Its "no". If you are someone with zero cardio, getting into good shape is incredibly important, so much so that any small negative effect is immediatly outweighed by the positives.

[Anonymous No.10551477]

>>10550041
If you think that walking would have any significant increase in your heart rate then maybe. The increased blood flow to your brain is a result of elevating your heart rate through exercise. Walking probably isn't going to do shit. You could do intense swimming and that would probably achieve the desired effect for instance.

Exercise also promotes better sleep and memory retention but that's a whole separate discussion. That's why a lot of CEO's have personal trainers and will get a workout in everyday before work.

very good answer, you brought up a lot of things I'd learned and forgotten. I agree about the walking, I used to walk for several miles on hills per day because I hope it was enough exercise, but did not get these benefits til taking up running

I developed a left eyelid tick in Dec/Jan and I too used to walk miles every day.
It went away after starting running again.
