“At every level, from the microcellular to the psychological, exercise not only wards off the ill effects of chronic stress; it can also reverse them. Studies show that if researchers exercise rats that have been chronically stressed, that activity makes the hippocampus grow back to its preshriveled state.

When you say you feel less stressed out after you go for a swim, or even a fast walk, you are.” IfsThinkingFeelsHas BeensStatesShowsGrowsWalksLevelsStudyEffectsExerciseActivityStressWineMedicineIllPsychologicalSwimMechanismReverseRatsStressedResearchersDonutsStressed Out Author:John Ratey

“Nothing is so much coveted by a young man as the reputation of being a genius; and many seem to feel that the want of patience for laborious application and deep research is such a mark of genius as cannot be mistaken: while a real genius, like Sir Isaac Newton, with great modesty says, that the great and only difference between his mind and the minds of others consisted solely in his having more patience.” MenWantFeelsMindRealSeemsYoungDifferencesGeniusResearchMarkReputationYoung ManApplicationModestyMistakenNewtonIsaacReal Genius Book:The student's manual: designed Source: The student's manual: designed
