BOOST YOUR BRAIN: SKIP THE DRUGS, EXERCISE INSTEAD
He has done it again.
The anonymous author of the YouTube channel What I've Learned has uploaded another brilliant video. This time it is on exercise and what exercise does for your brain, WHY Exercise is so Underrated (Brain Power & Movement Link).
I would suggest that you also check the website of the author, as the transcripts of the What I've Learned videos are posted there.
For more information on the topic, read my previous post, Jumping jacks or medications. I recently re-read it, and I realized that I was naïve when advising my readers under Actionable, “Dear doctors, instead of ADHD medications, would you please prescribe jumping jacks to our children?”
Why is this naïve? Because the frightening truth is that your doctors might be on the same medications themselves. I have had numerous conversations with medical students who have seen the inner works of clinical practices and I assure you that not only the medical students, but also some of the young MDs are “enhancing” their everyday professional performance with drugs.
Therefore, do not expect that the doctors will help you overcome your dependence on pharmaceuticals. You have to take care of yourself. The more you know about psychotropic drugs, the better you will protect yourself.
