6. Translate the following passage from Russian into English.
Считается, что физические упражнения положительно влияют на мозг. Ученые университета в Дьюке несколько лет назад доказали, что физические упражнения обладают свойствами антидепрессантов. Другое исследование показало, что физические упражнения могут улучшить мозговую деятельность пожилых людей и даже предотвратить развитие слабоумия.
Одна из теорий положительного воздействия физических упражнений включает тот факт, что упражнения дают толчок выработке эндорфинов. Эти естественные успокаивающие вещества похожи на морфин. Они, вероятно, могут вырабатываться как естественные болеутоляющие в ответ на ударную нагрузку, которую организм получает во время физических упражнений. Однако ученые-исследователи начинают сомневаться улучшают ли эндорфины настроение. Исследования показывают, что обмен эндорфинов в организме сложный процесс и, вероятно, здесь подключаются дополнительные механизмы, которые оказывают влияние на психическое здоровье во время физических упражнений.
