Exercise stimulates the growth of new brain cells.
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
A. True

Explanation
Exercise has been shown to increase the production of a protein called brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), which promotes the growth and survival of new brain cells. This process, known as neurogenesis, occurs primarily in the hippocampus, a region of the brain involved in learning and memory. Regular exercise has been linked to improved cognitive function, increased brain volume, and a reduced risk of neurodegenerative diseases. Therefore, it is correct to say that exercise stimulates the growth of new brain cells.

Physical activity is a powerful energizer. Studies show that regular exercise can dramatically reduce fatigue and increase your energy levels.
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
A. True

Explanation
Regular exercise has been proven to be a powerful energizer as it helps reduce fatigue and increase energy levels. Numerous studies have confirmed that physical activity can have a significant impact on boosting energy. When we engage in exercise, our body releases endorphins, which are known as "feel-good" hormones. These endorphins help improve mood, reduce stress, and enhance energy levels. Additionally, exercise improves blood flow and oxygen delivery to the muscles, which also contributes to increased energy. Therefore, the statement that regular exercise can dramatically reduce fatigue and increase energy levels is true.
