We often pay little attention to the great mental benefits that exercising regularly can have. It will allow you to stay active and healthy for a long time, allowing you to have both the physical and mental benefits. _36_
Improve your mood. Exercise is just what you need if you’re looking for some positive feelings. It is possible that you have experienced a happy time after exercise. While you are exercising, “happiness hormones（荷尔蒙）” are released. _37_
Reduce stress. If you’re feeling stressed, this feeling will disappear after exercise. _38_ Because it helps reduce the level of the “stress hormone” which leaves you feeling tired and stressed.
_39_ If you take regular exercise, you’ll find the results last longer too. So over time, you’ll have a higher ability to stay focused while completing tasks if you exercise regularly.
Improve your memory. According to a study by the University of British Columbia, regular exercise increases the size of the hippocampus（a part of the brain）. _40_
