Episode 3393:
Engaging in regular physical exercise is one of the most effective ways to boost brain function, thanks to increased blood flow, neurogenesis, and the release of "feel-good" chemicals like endorphins. Dr. Jenny Brockis emphasizes that even just 20 minutes of daily activity can enhance memory, elevate mood, and sharpen cognitive abilities. Her practical advice makes fitting exercise into a daily routine easier and highlights how it directly nurtures brain health.

Quotes to ponder:
"Exercise releases higher amounts of brain-derived neurotrophic factor, essential for memory and neurogenesis."
"Being in a positive mood is associated with higher performance setting you up to ensure the rest of your day goes well."
"New habits require new neural circuitry to be created, and it is the repetition that embeds the habit."
