Description
In a healthy body, a healthy mind. Humanity has known this idea since the days of the ancient Greeks, and few today doubt its truth. But how to put it into practice? Caroline Williams, in her new book Move!, reveals how new scientific insights about body movement can free our minds. She starts from the premise that the nervous system did not primarily evolve for thinking, but for movement. And since autonomous movement only makes sense when you can direct its course and set a goal, thinking was given to animals as a bonus. But what happens to the mind of a person who, due to progress and modern conveniences, practically stops moving? Did you know that walking can improve your cognitive abilities? That core training reduces anxiety? That light stretching can combat a whole range of mental and physical ailments, from stress to inflammation? We all know that exercise changes the way we think and feel. However, scientists are just beginning to discover how exactly it works. The theory is supplemented by specific advice that readers can apply to their own lives.
