How Exercise Reduces Anxiety

November 20, 2009 3:21 AM

It's no surprise that exercise makes us all feel calmer and better able to tackle stressful situations, but WHY it's so helpful wasn't clear. Well, another anatomical mystery has been solved! Take a look at this article in the New York Times discussing the latest research in this field. In a nutshell, exercise creates new new cells (neurons) in the brain that are impervious to stress. For mice, it took between 3-6 weeks of regular activity to see marked improvement. So, start exercising today and see how much less stressed you feel by Jan. 1st!
