Exercise Releases Neurochemicals in the Brain
Dr. Wendy Suzuki, a neuroscientist and professor of neuroscience and psychology, explains that exercise, even just 10 minutes of walking, releases neurochemicals such as dopamine, serotonin, and noradrenaline in the brain. These neurochemicals contribute to feeling good, increasing energy, and improving the functions of the prefrontal cortex, which is responsible for focus and motivation. By doing 30 minutes of exercise every morning, Dr. Suzuki prepares her brain for work and builds a lasting habit of daily physical activity.
