When Professor Wendy Suzuki turned 40, she realized that her social life didn’t match up to her professional life. Though she‘d devoted her career to the neuroscience of memory, she’d amassed few cherished memories of her own.
Suzuki, New York University’s Center for Neural Science, decided to make some changes: joining a gym, cutting down on carbs, and loading up on veggies.
As her fitness improved, so did her mood, her energy level, and her sense of confidence. She describes this transition in her new book, Healthy Brain, Happy Life: A Personal Program to Activate Your Brain and Do Everything Better (HarperCollins, 2015).
You don't have to be a triathlete to benefit from exercise.
