This Mineral + Exercise May Boost Brain Regeneration

Deep dive here: https://open.substack.com/pub/staycuriousmetabolism/p/what-happens-to-your-brain-after?r=40ekz2&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=true Exercise may support brain health through an unexpected pathway involving selenium, an essential trace element. Research suggests physical activity increases selenium transport into the brain via SEPP1, contributing to selenoprotein formation and processes linked to neurogenesis. Even small dietary sources, like Brazil nuts, can meaningfully impact selenium intake and have been studied in relation to cognition. For the full mechanisms, limitations, and nuance, watch the long-form breakdown linked above. ⸻ #Neurogenesis #Selenium #BrainHealth #ExerciseScience #CognitiveHealth #NutritionScience #StayCurious
