I read a book called spark by John r. Ratey. Changed my perspective a lot, some of the newer research and school programs happening from the research is promising.

My biggest take away is that the brain is not wired primarily for thinking, but for moving it changed my perspective. Along with some new research about how the heart produces certain hormones that only happens under stress e.g 75% heart rate for an extended duration.

As someone who's been around a lot of people suffering with mental health and at times myself I notice movement really gets things back on track.
