On ”Psychology Behind the Headlines, hosts Patricia Wu, Jessica Reyes, and guest Brandon Gaines discuss on a new study revealing that regular exercise can help lessen the risks of anxiety, depression, and ADHD in children.
Exercise = Natural Mood Booster
When we work out, our bodies release endorphins, which are like our internal feel-good chemicals. That’s why exercise can reduce stress and improve focus.
Start Young, Benefit for Life
The exercise habits we build as kids can impact our mental health throughout our lives. Encourage movement early on, even if it’s just letting little ones run and play.
Never Too Late (or Too Young) to Move
No matter your age, find ways to get your body moving. As Brandon Gaines puts it, “life is kinetic” – keeping our bodies in motion supports our minds too.
