So over your lifespan, you know, if you're too sedentary, yeah, that can have a real impact on how your brain ages.
Ever thought about how moving your body can change your mind? In this engaging episode of 'The One You Feed', host Eric Zimmer chats with science journalist Caroline Williams. Caroline dives into her book, *Move: How the New Science of Body Movement Can Set Your Mind Free*, and shares fascinating insights on how physical activity can boost mental health.
From strength training to dance, and even breathwork, she explains how these activities can make us feel more connected and improve our overall well-being. Caroline touches on the concept of interoception, which is our sense of the internal state of our bodies. She reveals how moving our muscles and bones can actually enhance this sense, giving us an unconscious boost in confidence and capability. Ever noticed how a good dance session or a brisk walk lifts your spirits?
Caroline explains the science behind these feelings, showing that movement can indeed be a powerful tool for mental health. She also discusses how our brains were originally designed to help us navigate the world through movement. By staying active, we can keep our brains sharp and slow down the aging process. Caroline's insights are not just theoretical; she offers practical advice on incorporating movement into our daily lives to improve our mental and emotional well-being.
If you've ever felt the drag of a sedentary lifestyle or wondered how to feel more alive and connected, this episode is a must-listen. Caroline Williams brings a blend of scientific research and personal experience that makes the benefits of movement clear and compelling.
