Nearly every dose of Workplace Fitness we have provided for you these last two weeks has involved stretching and relaxing one muscle or another. But what about the noggin?

You have been wracking your brain for hours and hours, day after day. Doesn't it need a healthy stretch, too? Or, perhaps a somewhat mindless pursuit to get you thinking about things other than numbers?

Growing evidence suggests that physical and mental exercise can alter specific brain regions, making far-reaching improvements in cognitive function, according to American Medical News, a publication of the American Medical Association.

"When you challenge the brain with new skills and new ways of doing things, it increases connections in the brain," says Ericka P. Simpson, MD, a neurologist who co-directs the MDA Neuromuscular Clinics. "It increases synaptic density."
