A noted neuroscientist reveals groundbreaking research on how fitness and exercise can combat mental health conditions such as anxiety, dementia, ADHD, and depression, and offers a plan for improving focus, creativity, and sleep. Jennifer Heisz shares paradigm-shifting research on how exercise affects the brain, finding that intervals of intense workouts, or even leisurely walks, help stop depression and dementia, lessen anxiety and ADHD, and encourage better sleep, creativity, and resilience. Physical inactivity is the greatest risk factor contributing to dementia and anxietyits as much a factor as genetics. In addition, exercises anti-inflammatory properties make it the most effective treatment strategy for those who are depressed and dont respond to anti-depressants. The book focuses on overcoming inertia; using exercise to help fight addictions; how we can improve our memory with fitness even as we age; and, importantly, how exercise can help us sleep better, improve focus, and be more creative. Included are easy to use plans for unique aerobic and resistance workouts designed to strengthen the brain.

This was an ok book. I've been practicing yoga daily for the last 4 years and it's done wonders for my mental health but I haven't seen the results I want physically. I've been stepping up my routine a bit with weights, cardio, getting my steps in, etc. I thought this book would help motivate me to push myself more but not so much. I think it's more geared toward people looking to START exercising. I learned a bit from it though so not all bad.

3.5/5⭐ The more I read about actual science vs standard medical treatment, the more furious I get. #bookspinbingo #bookspin
