Exercising After Studying Helps Having Good Memory: Study

In a new research it is found working out for about four hours after studying helps in improving long-term memory. It also helps in retaining new information.

The study has been conducted by experts from Donders Institute in the Netherlands’ Radbound University Medical Center. Details of it are published in the Current Biology journal.
