Exercise and the Benefits to our Brain Health

Exercise or movement has amazing benefits for our overall health. LaReina Tipping from the Brain Center of Green Bay shares how exercise increases energy, supports better sleep habits, boosts motivation/immune system, and helps youth handle physical and emotional challenges. Specific chemicals, such as BDNF (Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor) are released to promote neuroplasticity. Exercise can be as simple as playing, dancing, and being physically active.
