Kevin Hines:
What's cracking Hope Nation? It's your friendly neighbor, Kevin Hines, and here's your brain health tip of the week. Have you heard of the exercise effect? Sure, exercise can improve your physical health, that's awesome, but there's so many mental health benefits to exercise. Exercise releases chemicals like endorphins and serotonin that can help you improve your mood. It'll make you feel more energetic, sleep better and improve your memory. You don't need to devote hours to the gym, you just need a little bit of activity, which is better than nothing at all. Start small, 20 to 30 minutes a day, five days a week. For me, personally, I do 20-30 minutes of rigorous exercise, three to five days a week, which gives me 12 hours of better mood a day. I encourage you to set aside 30 minutes a day today for yourself to do something that gets you moving and motivates you right now.
