Physical exercise produces undeniable benefits throughout the body, improving our health and, of course, benefiting the brain. This fully updated book incorporates the latest neuroscientific advances that indicate what type of exercise is most suitable for each aspect, highlighting the importance of exercise intensity to obtain concrete results. It analyzes the brain areas that benefit from moderate or vigorous exercise, as well as the latest discoveries about its effect on depression, anxiety, cognition, aging, and neurodegeneration. Although it is not yet possible to develop a personalized exercise plan useful for each individual, sedentary lifestyle is presented as the main enemy of a healthy brain. In addition, the evolutionary extremes of human perception of physical activity are explored, and evidence on the physical activity of our ancestors is analyzed to determine whether exercise is an activity inherent to our species.
