“What if I told you there was something that you can do right now that would have an immediate, positive benefit for your brain including your mood and your focus? And what if I told you that same thing could actually last a long time and protect your brain from different conditions like depression, Alzheimer’s disease or dementia. Would you do it? Yes!”

Commentary:
Two things drew me to this video. Her name’s Wendy and she talked about the brain and benefits of exercise. It’s no coincidence, we share a first name and my PhD project is based on that topic! We can all learn a thing or two and get some motivation to get up and get active! This is a turning point for me, I have to practice what I preach; exercise becomes a lifestyle.
