Benefit of exercise on the brain is the generation of large amounts of serotonin, the lack of which is why people take drugs such as Zoloft, Paxil, Effexor, and Prozac.
Exercise naturally boosts serotonin, which improves mood and can even snap you out of depression. It improves memory, decreases anxiety, helps with cognition, increases attention and focus, and helps with learning, especially for children. Children who exercise receive all the above benefits and therefore develop and grow healthier than kids who don’t. Because their brains are healthier, their bodies are healthier.
The more we exercise, the more oxygen we push into our bloodstream, the healthier we’re going to be and, thus, the more energy we’re going to generate. When we move, our cells get energized as they become oxygenated. Oxygen and glucose are the primary driving forces in the production of energy within a cell, so the more oxygen you can drive into a cell, the more energy you’ll have.
