Mogambo, LOL!!!!
I think you could be onto to something Maximus. I just read in Clinician Reviews November 2004, that cognitive function improves with exercise according to two JAMA articles. "Walking, and exercise in general, is clearly associated with better cognitive function and a reduced risk of cognitive decline" in the elderly (not that any of us are elderly).
"Women who engaged in the greatest physical activity had a 20% lower risk of cognitive impairment, compared with women who exercised the least" and the cognitive benefits "compare with being about 3 years younger".
The review notes that active people tend to have healthier lifestyles, diet, etc.
Just another reason to stay fit.
Ok, I've been reading professional stuff all day... I need some "brain candy" as a poster on another thread mentioned.

On a serious note, I don't think it's so much a connection between fitness and brains as it is a connection between CATHE and brains.
The grunting, groaning guys at the gym who are lifting the heavy weights using the wrong form are not the bright ones, IMHO. Neither are the people who are attracted to Tony Little or who buy the gadgets on TV (electronic tummy fat remover belt, anyone?) The smart ones are the ones who are attracted to the sensible, intelligent approach of Cathe Friedrich. In other words, US!!
(And of course the ones with the most posts are the brightest of the bright :+ . And don't you forget it.)
