"The single most beneficial thing you can do for your brain is to exercise 5 - 6 days/week at 65-75% of your maximum heart rate. This one thing improves concentration, learning, overall function and health, and plasticity. Exercise is important for relief from the stresses to the brain caused by changing hormones, addiction, aging, depression and ADHD; often proving to be more beneficial over time than prescription medications."
"This book covers many scientific studies about how exercise helps our brains. We know that exercise makes us feel better and this book explains why (sometimes in too great of detail). Recommended by Stewart and worth the read. Now if I could just get the book to do the exercise for me..."
"I don't need any more justification for exercising. However, I have always had an intense interest in Neurophysiology and Exercise Physiology. This book outlines the scientific basis of the benefits of exercise and I believe that his recommendations should be part of the prescription from every physician to his patients. I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in promoting and enhancing their own health. Very clearly written."
"Another motivating book to get up and just exercise. He recommends daily exercise for at least an hour. I learned alot about the brain and how powerful exercise really is for the brain's regrowth. Alot of scientific words but once you get into the book it is really a good read."
