The powerful connection between exercise and mental health

[iloverachel]

Exercise acts as a natural mood booster by significantly increasing dopamine levels in the brain. Dopamine is a neurotransmitter crucial for motivation, pleasure, and reward. When we engage in physical activity, our brains release dopamine, creating a sense of accomplishment and well-being. This surge of dopamine can help alleviate symptoms of depression and anxiety by improving overall mood and reducing feelings of fatigue and apathy.



Furthermore, regular exercise can enhance the brain's sensitivity to dopamine. This means that even small activities become more rewarding, leading to increased motivation and a greater sense of enjoyment in daily life. By consistently incorporating physical activity into our routines, we can cultivate a positive feedback loop where exercise boosts dopamine, leading to improved mood, which in turn motivates us to continue exercising. This virtuous cycle contributes significantly to overall mental and emotional well-being.

Trump believes it's not smart to raise your heart rate. Your heart only gets so many beats.

And to be honest, my 95 year old uncle doesn't exercise. He just walks every day. Still does yard work too. He does for himself still. I'm going to hang with him and my aunt all February. Fort Lauderdale. 78 degrees in February.

Keep the brain sharp. The body too for sure but keep mentally stimulated because Dimentia happens to everyone if you get old enough.

Is RFK Jr. right about the shit they put in the water? Could it be giving us Alzheimers?

I miss going to the gym, it could definitely help the fatigue these prescriptions and my symptoms are invoking.

It's absurd as I have to try to go to work and feel anxiety about experiencing numbness. The lack of energy is perpetual.

I miss going to the gym...
