    I've read many sources of information about exercise and the brain, but this is the most simple, brief, and clear explanation about the benefit of exercise to the brain.
    To get the benefit of exercise, we must push ourselves beyond what we think is the limit. We need to push beyond when we first sense of fatigue. Because it is from our brain, not from our muscles. When our brain tells us don't go, then push a little bit beyond that.

    The reassuring statement at 5:15 changed my mentality. Now when I’m feeling tired during a workout, I’m even more motivated to keep pushing because I know that it’s REALLY beneficial for the brain to basically override the signals of tiredness/panic and keep pushing.

    🎯 Key Takeaways for quick navigation:
    00:11 🧠 Exercise benefits both the body and the brain, improving memory, problem-solving, and potentially reducing the risk of dementia.
    01:31 🧪 Exercise promotes a healthier brain by increasing blood supply and glucose to the brain, positively impacting brain function.
    03:41 💡 Exercise induces changes in critical brain areas, making them more plastic and capable of adapting to new challenges, resulting in better memory and problem-solving.
    04:35 💪 Pushing beyond perceived limits during exercise is crucial for brain benefits, and both aerobic and weightlifting exercises can be beneficial.
    06:06 💻 Committing to regular exercise for at least three weeks, with a partner for motivation, leads to improved energy levels and clearer thinking, benefiting overall brain health.

      He says after a month you notice that you feel more mentally alert and that you think "more clearly."
      But I'm not sure you do. I've been exercising a long time, pretty regularly for years. I am pretty fit and my cardiovascular health is quite good. But I've never felt more mentally alert from exercising.
      But I'm not quite yet 40 and my mental faculties have always been excellent, learning new things and thinking about complex ideas on a daily basis. So maybe the effects wouldn't be very noticeable for people like me. I'm not sure.
      And my mother has never really exercised, certainly not to the extent he suggests. She's only walked, not very briskly, to stave off osteoporosis and early PAD., though she's been gardening for years.
      But she is as sharp as ever at 80, sometimes surprising people by solving really challenging puzzles. So I'm inclined to think brain health is mostly genetic, and I only exercise for the physical bodily benefits. If it boosts brain functioning or preserves it, I just take it as an unexpected side benefit.

    At 3:35 he gives the wrong message that exercise burns fat. It doesn't. It is now evident that exercise drives extensive neuroendocrine changes in the body to in fact fight fat loss! Therefore, not the exercise but eating healthy diet is the only intervention to lose weight. Nevertheless, I agree that exercise is great for mind and heart. But unfortunately an unhealthy diet, poor sleep, drug, tobacco or alcohol use can ruin any potential benefits from exercise.

      Of, my dear, someday you won't be an invincible teenager or a college student and you'll seek out health information of your own accord.
      But even when I was in my teens and twenties, I was interested in science and health. I stopped eating meat (except for fish) at sixteen (though I picked it up again after I had children -- too much effort).
      So maybe we're all different.
