“Increasing blood flow to the brain [via exercise] stimulates the release of mood-elevating hormones. The same neurochemicals that relax the blood vessels relax the brain. This helps both body and brain cope with stress.”
“Exercise helps the body muster up its own internal medicine to combat depression and worry. For most people, exercise is a healthier alternative to mood-altering medications.”
– The Healthiest Kid in the Neighborhood, William Sears, M.D., et. al.
Life is tough. No question. Exercise can help you cope. Get some.
