#2096 Spark by John Ratey

Move your body, boost your mind

Today’s book: Spark by Dr. John Ratey—how exercise isn’t just for the body—it’s one of the most powerful tools for brain health, focus, and emotional well-being.

Here’s your 1-minute summary:

  • Exercise is brain fuel. It boosts learning, memory, and mental clarity by increasing blood flow and neuroplasticity.
  • Movement fights stress. Physical activity regulates cortisol and releases endorphins, reducing anxiety and depression.
  • Exercise is the ultimate focus booster. It increases dopamine and norepinephrine, sharpening concentration and attention.
  • Your brain grows stronger with movement. Regular exercise stimulates BDNF, a protein that helps neurons grow and repair.
  • A little goes a long way. Even 10 minutes of movement can improve mood, energy, and cognitive performance.
