Here's another reason to get off the couch and start working up a the exercise right and you could improve your ability to remember something 's the finding of a new study.

But it all comes down to lock up the new information,start burning those calories roughly four hours after you took in the new 's according to researchers at an institute on brain,cognition（认知）and 's at Radboud University's Medical Center,in Nijmegen,the van Dongen and his colleagues shared their new findings in the June 16 Current Biology.

This precisely timed memory trick comes from tests with 72 learned the location of 90 objects on a computer ,some of the members watched relaxing nature worked up a sweat on body-building bikes,changing between hard and easy riding for 35 workouts came either soon after the cram session（考前突击复习）or four hours later.

Two days later they were tested again,Those who remembered the objects' sites best were the people who had waited four hours after their learning before those who remembered sites correctly,the four-hour delay before biking also led to more consistent activity in an area important for 's known as the hippocampus（海马区）.The consistent activity here suggests that the memories

had been strong,the scientists say.

Van Dongen's team does not yet know how exercise works its memo do,however,have a guess. Aerobic exercise leads to me creation of several important chemicals in the is a protein

known as BDNF. The other is dopamine (DO-puh-meen). It can help convey messages between nerve two chemicals may help strengthen memories by linking brain cells,the researchers suspect. best way to lock up the new information is .

get off the couch soon after their learning do sports for four hours and work up a sweat

For the Swiss,punctuality is a source of deep obtain real joy from the fact that life unfolds on time and in a highly efficient I visit Switzerland,I go through several stages of punctuality first it delights me,especially if I'm coming from Neighbouring Italy or France with their rather more flexible approach to contrast,life in Switzerland is enthusiastic and someone says they will meet me at 2 pm,they arrive at 2 pm not 2:05 (or 1:55,for that matter). I like this,for a while.

Then it annoys extreme punctuality strikes me as a kind of being mean,and I find myself agreeing with the English writer Evelyn Waugh who said that "punctuality is the virtue of the bored."

That is unfair though,and finally I come to appreciate Swiss punctuality for what it is: a deep expression of respect for other punctual person is a considerate showing up on time for everything,a Swiss person is saying,in effect,"I value your time and,by extension,I value you."

It's no coincidence that the Swiss are the world's came first,the precise clocks and watches or the precise people?Hard to say,but the result is the same: a nation where the trains and everything else really do run on time.

How to explain this punctuality?No one knows for a popular theory is that,historically,it arises from the tough,mountainous you planted your crops on time and harvested them at the correct time or,well,you starved.
