How exercise can change the chemistry of your brain.
Exercise has been proven to have tremendous and beneficial effects on our human biology. When it comes to mental illness and things like depression, the main issues reside in the brain. So what if you could physically alter the neurochemistry in your brain with just a simple diet of exercise? Studies done by the Journal of Medical Sciences, have shown that 30-45 minutes of medium aerobic exercise actually alters the way your brain produces neurotransmitters. During exercise your brain ramps up its natural production of serotonin and dopamine which can last throughout the day. These are simply the happy chemicals in our brain and can lower the symptoms of depression and other stress and mental disorders.
