Okay.

That is what you should do.

Yeah.

That's amazing.

So it's been shown that 10 minutes of walking has an immediate effect on your anxiety and depression levels measured by quantified measurements.

Also, I should say, it doesn't last for the rest of your life, that 10 minute walk.

Of course.

But it has an immediate effect and it can last for, you know, depending on the study, between 30 minutes and a couple of hours.

So that's pretty good.

So I brought for all the people watching.

Yes.

I brought a real, well, let me just show you.

Yeah.

So I think the thing to say before I bring this out

is that I like to say that exercise, what we're talking about, particularly aerobic exercise, is the most transformative thing that you could do for your brain because of that bubble bath.

But in the long term, if you don't just do it a one-off thing, but you keep your exercise up, what you're doing is you're literally releasing not just the neurochemicals, but growth factors that will

increase the strength and increase the size of key parts of the brain.

But there's something very powerful called brain plasticity, which is the things that you can do in your life, bring into your life, that will strengthen your brain literally by growing new brain cells in the hippocampus, critical for memory, or new synapses in the prefrontal cortex, critical for focus and attention.

But

You know, you can throw around these words.
