It happens to us all - we’re in the middle of a conversation with friends and we forget a word, or the name of a place or person. There are many reasons why this happens, ranging from tiredness to menopausal brain fog to a decline in brain function due to ageing. It can be frustrating and upsetting when we feel like our brain is letting us down.
Now, researchers think they might have found a way to reduce these so-called ‘tip of the tongue’ moments and improve brain health: aerobic exercise, also known as cardiovascular exercise. This includes activities like walking, cycling, swimming, and running.
