  13. “Exercise is the single most important thing you can do to keep your brain healthy and improve your mood, energy level, performance and overall health.”- Dr. Daniel G. Amen (neuroscientist and psychiatrist)“One of the best treatments for depression and anxiety is intense aerobic exercise, because it boosts blood flow to the brain, as well as energy levels.”- Dr. William Rodman Shankle (neurologist and professor of Cognitive Sciences)“A cardinal symptom of depression is low energy, which makes exercise difficult.  Initially, it takes a lot of energy to exercise, but once you begin, you’ll find that you have increased energy, and subsequently, increased mood!  In fact, several studies have found that exercise is about as effective, if not more effective, than most antidepressant medications.”- Dr. Stephen Ilardi (Professor of Clinical Psychology, Kansas University)“Daily exercise improves cognitive function, strengthens the prefrontal cortex, decreases cravings and protects the brain against things that hurt it, such as free radicals and spikes in glucose levels.”- Dr. David E. Smith (President of the American Society of Addiction Medicine)“Exercise keeps the brain healthy & aids its ability to create new neurons & make new connections for learning new things.”- Dr. Caroline Leaf (communication pathologist, audiologist and cognitive neuroscientist)
