Summary:
"Jennifer Heisz (Associate Professor in the Department of Kinesiology at McMaster University) 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
anxiety
-- it's as much a factor as genetics. In addition, exercise's anti-inflammatory properties make it the most effective treatment strategy for those who are depressed and don't 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."--From publisher.
