Scientists reveal how long YOU should walk to boost brain power

Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg reportedly loves conducting meetings while walking, and so did Apple founder Steve Jobs - and scientists have shown that they were right on target. Just 20 minutes of walking can prepare the brain to take in and retain new information, neuroscience research has shown. These positive effects can be seen in areas of the brain involved in making decisions, managing stress, and planning our behavior. Other forms of exercise have their own benefits on brain health, too, but this research determined that it doesn't take much to boost your brain power - and a little bit of walking is much better than no exercise at all.
