Exercise changes the brain. The author is John Reddy, a clinical associate professor at Harvard Medical School. He is an internationally recognized expert in the field of neuropsychiatry and a world-class expert in the field of the relationship between brain and exercise. He was named "the best doctor in the United States" from 65438 to 0997.

He is a new science promoter, using exercise to transform the brain. He believes that exercise can not only strengthen the body, but also strengthen the brain. Exercise can treat children and adults with autism and various learning problems. This book further proves that exercise is as effective as antidepressants in treating mild depression and moderate depression and helplessness.

This book mainly discusses and studies from nine aspects: exercise for study, exercise for stress, exercise for anxiety, exercise for depression, exercise for concentration, exercise for addiction, exercise for hormones, exercise for aging and exercise for brain training.

As we all know, exercise can promote our health, but most people don't know why. We just think that exercise can release stress, reduce muscle tension, promote cardiopulmonary function, or increase endorphins. In fact, when our blood is pumping, the real reason why we feel happy is that exercise keeps our brain in the best condition.

Moreover, exercise is not only beneficial to the body, but also the most basic function of exercise, and the most critical function of exercise is to strengthen or improve the brain.

In contemporary society, we live in a world driven by science and technology, and electronic equipment is everywhere. It is easy for people to forget that we are natural athletes-animals, because there is no "exercise" in our daily plan.

After 500,000 years of evolution, we gradually adapted to this rapidly developing environment, and the thinking brain evolved from the tempering of motor skills. In order to survive for a long time, our primitive ancestors who relied on hunting and gathering had to use their wisdom to find and store food.

The correlation between food, physical activity and learning has become an innate habit in our brain circuit system. Now, we don't need hunting and gathering, but it has become a problem. The sedentary modern lifestyle destroys our nature and becomes one of the biggest threats to our long-term survival. This will lead to overweight or obesity, and even diabetes. This preventable but costly disease stems from lack of exercise and malnutrition.
