IQ - General Indicator of Intelligence
IQ determines many things: health, relationships, career, self-awareness, and general impact on the world. From a neuroscience perspective, the concept of IQ is known as fluid intelligence - something that's genetically given to us whereas crystallized intelligence can be something that can be nurtured and grown over time.
However, the regression of fluid intelligence can be reduced by exercising regularly. There's a ton of research done on this which shows that exercise increases the amount of BDNF (brain-derived neurotrophic factor) which is essential for having a healthy brain and body.
