It has the power not only to boost mood and focus due to the increase in neurotransmitters like dopamine, serotonin, and noradrenaline, but also contributes to long-term brain health. Exercise stimulates the growth of new brain cells, particularly in the hippocampus, improving long-term memory and increasing its volume. Suzuki notes that you don\u2019t have to become a marathon runner to obtain these benefits \u2014 even just 10 minutes of walking per day can have noticeable benefits. It just takes a bit of willpower and experimentation.<\/p>\n<p>0:00 My exercise epiphany.<br \/> 1:35 What is \u201crunner\u2019s high\u201d?<br \/> 2:40 The hippocampus &amp; prefrontal cortex.<br \/> 3:32 Neuroplasticity: It\u2019s never too late to move your body.<\/p>\n<p>Read the video transcript \u25ba <a href=\"https:\/\/bigthink.com\/series\/the-big-think-interview\/how-the-brain-benefits-from-exercise\/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=youtube_description\">https:\/\/bigthink.com\/series\/the-big-think-interview\/how-the-\u2026escription<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>About Wendy Suzuki:<\/p>\n<div class=\"more-link-wrapper\"> <a class=\"more-link\" href=\"https:\/\/lifeboat.com\/blog\/2023\/07\/the-1-way-to-strengthen-your-mind-is-to-use-your-body-wendy-suzuki\">Continue reading \u201cThe #1 way to strengthen your mind is to use your body | Wendy Suzuki\u201d | &gt;<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Exercise gives your brain a \u201cbubble bath of neurochemicals,\u201d says Wendy Suzuki, a professor of neural science.
