"Exercise Brain": A Swedish psychiatrist explains the importance of exercise

Writer's picture: KAKA

Hello, this is KA.

This time I would like to introduce "Motor Brain" (Sunmark Publishing/2022).



This book is a huge hit in Sweden, having sold 700,000 copies, which , calculated based on the population of Japan, would be just under 10 million copies sold . 10 million copies is amazing!

As the title suggests, the book is about the relationship between exercise and the brain . It covers a lot of exercise-related topics, such as how exercise can affect the brain, the relationship between exercise and motivation, personality changes through exercise, and exercise for preventing depression, so I highly recommend you read it!

I'm sorry to talk about myself, but I'm currently suffering from depression, so I was particularly interested in the relationship between depression and exercise. What surprised me the most was that exercising for a certain period of time is more effective in improving depression than taking medicine. Exercise is amazing!

However, that doesn't mean I don't take medication, so I can't tell people who are depressed to stop taking medication and just exercise...

Please pick up the book and read it for more details. I'm sure you will have many new realizations. Also, after reading the book, please encourage your friends and family to exercise.

This is just my impressions after reading this book quickly for the first time in a while, so if there's anything else I want to write, I'll add more.

The blue cover makes it easy to find, so if you're interested, be sure to buy it!

We look forward to your comments and opinions!
