Neurobiological effects of physical exercise

Physical exercise is like eating food for our brain. It benefits our neurobiology, which means how our brain works. When we exercise, our body releases endorphins, which are chemicals in our brains that help us feel happy and relaxed. This also helps us to focus better and think more clearly. In addition, physical exercise helps strengthen the connections between our nerve cells, which helps all parts of our brain work better, giving us more control over our thoughts and emotions.
