Dance for 3 minutes a day to bolster your brain. This is a wellness tip suggested by Japanese researchers.

We all know that sport is great for taking care of yourself. But let’s be honest, not everyone is hooked on jogging or fitness. And besides, time is precious, is it not? Well, researchers from the University of Tsukuba, Japan, have discovered that having a blast to the beat of your favorite tunes, without breaking a sweat, can make you smarter and happier.

Why does this work?

Because it puts you in a good mood, relaxes you, dissolves stress and chases away depression. What’s more, it’s a sports activity you can indulge in at any age, and it even extends your life expectancy. Basically, what’s important is that you get your groove on and let yourself go. Don’t worry, you don’t need to become a pro dancer, just enjoy the moment and sway to your own beat. The only hard and fast rule, according to the researchers, is to really feel that connection with the music.

So grab your headphones, get your favorite playlists ready, and bring a little dance into your life! And why not share your playlist with us at inthemove@intelcia.com? We love a good vibe!
