Your brain loves Exercise

When you exercise:

  • Norepinephrine is released, improving attention, perception & motivation.

  • Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) is released, protecting & repairing neurons from injury & degeneration.

  • Hormones combine with BDNF to grow brain cells, regulate mood & provide mental clarity.

  • The hippocampus, a part of the brain concerned with learning & memory, grows in size with regular exercise over time.

  • Endoprhins are released, dulling the sensation of pain.

  • Serotonin is released enhancing mood.

  • Blood flow to the brain increases, delivering more oxygen & nutrients & improving waste removal.

  • Dopamine is released, improving motivation, focus & learning.
