Mao Zedong. His 1917 essay “A Study of Physical Education,” Mao stated, “There is a saying: 'Civilize the mind and make savage the body. ' This is an apt saying. In order to civilize the mind, one must first make savage the body. He elaborated on these views on the interconnectedness of mind and body as he argued against the notion that persons with strong minds had weak bodies and those with robust bodies had deficient mental capacities. According to Mao, what was needed for perfection of body and mind was physical transformation that could elicit reconstitution of the mind. This dialectical relationship between body and mind advocated by Mao, albeit in pre-Marxian language, foreshadowed practices of body and education central to the political culture of the People's Republic of China in the 1950s and 1960s. In Mao's China, dress and body discourses constituted fundamental components of a political-aesthetic ideal in which proletarian subjectivity became aestheticized, and identificatory signifiers were internalized, desired, and displayed.

I suffered from depression for past 2 years and from a year im going to the gym around 3-4 times a week. I see improvements physicaly, my anxiousness is almost gone and other symptoms of depresdion improved. Go workout guys!
Exercise saved my life when I was depressed and suicidal. I know it is hard to exercise when you are depressed, but it is so worth it. Try to find an activity that you enjoy and be kind to yourself; don't use exercise to 'punish yourself' for eating certain things or looking a certain way. It helps to look at exercise as a gift you give to yourself. If you don't feel worthy of this gift, remember that this gift benefits those around you as well. Hugs to those who are struggling today
I rememeber in school having great motivation and memory, but when i got in university, i started fouscing in studying rather than doing sports (i trained basketball in highscool/college), and i noted that my motivation and my concentration capacity went down. Now i enrolled in a gym and i hope to recover the drive and confidence that i had back then :) Great vid!
@@filiprechtorik4938 sorry for the late answer. Yes, i have noted improvement. Especially when i exercise with friends, its like you have double the motivation. At first it was hard and it didint feel like it helped much (making exercise), but as i improved and fixed my sleep schedule (this also was a big improvement), i started to feel much better in general (with mutivation and such). Hope it helps :)
I started exercising at age 14, I still exercise now at age 47. I’ve been doing it for so long I can’t say whether or not it helped my brain. I didn’t think about my brain function when I was a teenager. One thing I’ve noticed, is that on days that I workout, I get nice restorative sleep that night, compared to only light sleep if I don’t exercise or do only yoga. As I’ve gotten older, I have begun to see the importance of deep sleep. The family member who was rarely getting deep sleep ended up with memory problems very young and now has Alzheimer’s at a younger age than normal.
11:00 The reason that the statistics show a link between people who exercise 5-7 times per week and higher stroke rates is because of the extreme body building craze, eating too much lean meat and not enough good fats, so they can get 3% body fat and impress everyone, this in turn depletes arterial walls of vital fat, particularly in the brain leading to higher stroke rates. In statistics, people often assume that one thing directly causes the another, and then go on to make all kinds of bad judgements, based on a loosely defined statistical correlations.
This is really interesting! So I guess regular people who do 5-7 days (meaning either 5 fairly-intense workouts OR 7 days of some movement of sorts) aren't at risk, because the goal there isn't to be a ludicrous low bodyfat, but rather just overall fit? I'll be honest, I freaked a bit because I do 5 times per week and I definitely don't want a stroke!!
@@amyjayne6950 There's a small old book called "How to lie with statistics", a good read. Construction workers also "workout" 5-7 days per week and have higher stroke rates, but on closer inspection, they also tend to smoke and drink a lot more than most people. Basically you can never trust a statistic at face value, but you can be sure people will use them to lie, cheat and steal, or sensationalize just about anything.
Since I started exercising 6 months ago, my anxiety pretty much went away completely, my voice got deeper, I was forced to change my sense of humor (people took me more seriously), I started talking with my hands, I’m much more comfortable with physical contact, my sex drive went through the roof, I became a more aggressive driver, and I can sit down and read/write with noticeably greater focus and concentration.
@@love2fight205the whole high t thing is a myth and testosterone is different from person to person. i recommend watching hbomberguys video about soy boys. self improvement is a w nonetheless
I walk 3x per week approximately 2miles each , I do Yoga 2x per week, and lift weights 🏋️♀️ 2x per week; I have been doing this for years. I am 59 years old and look at least 10 to 15 years younger than my peers. I feel like 30 and take No medications and have No signs of disease. I also try to eat mostly healthy food and sleep 7 hours a night. 👍🏼❤️😎
You can only become truly accomplished at something you love. Don’t make money your goal. Instead, pursue the things you love doing, and then do them so well that people can’t take their eyes off you. --Maya Angelou....
The positive contributions an active lifestyle has on mental clarity and alertness should also be mentioned. Who needs morning coffee when you can exercises instead? 💪
I did crossfit three times a week for about six months and noticed a surprising improvement in the quality and complexion of my skin, I didn't change my diet during this time. I'm now incrementally changing my diet to healthier choices, small but noticeable overall improvements in mental state (usually fight depression and anxiety) have developed over the past few months. Mental state improved with physical activity alone but not as readily nor strongly as when nutritional improvements were also in my routine. Improvement of diet and exercise together make for the best and strongest outcome. Excited to continue the dietary and physical trials on myself for years to come.
Its also important to not forget the other half of exorcise, sleep. 8 to 10 hours of sleep is I think what is recommended as a healthy level and is also when your body commits a lot of energy into repair and building of the muscle and when the glymphatic system starts maintaining the brain.
Thank you for the reminder to exercise for health and brain health. Another major factor is that obesity is the major threat to health and obesity is a killer. So exercise and also eat smart so your maintain a healthy weight so you stay healthy in your body and brain. My weight flutuates yet has stayed for many decades since I was 19 years old, yet I see people I know gaining 30 to 80 lbs more then when they were 19 and I know they are going to pay a heavy price in many health problems the older they get because they didn't respect their body they just satisfied a baby'e taste buds for only food that taste really good instead of educating their tastes buds and also studying how to eat for health instead of neglecting their health and body and then complaining about their self imposed health problems because they never used their brain to eat better. Wake up and eat healthy and exercise and meditate and spend time in nature and leave your cell phone at home so you are not stuck in the 'Fight or flight' unhealthy response that constant phone and social media use puts your body into and destroys your mind and body.
I've been working out powerlifting/strongman training for about 8 years now I was very self conscious about the fact I was 6'5" and only 180lbs I looked like a toothpick with wood shaved off im now 270lbs have 17.5in arms barrel chest and meat shield for a back and I fell the best I ever have confidence wise and mentally much more stable I think its the reason I've been able to stay away from drugs and alcohol for 9 years and thank you for the great videos keep it 💪
Excellent video. One personal project I've taken on recently is to maximize my brain health and intelligence. Brain training, meditation, and more physical exercise. I don't have the study on hand but my understanding is that lower resting heart rate is correlated with better brain function. And a great way to lower resting heart rate is aerobic exercise.
I am 51 years old, Im doing chin ups and dips using gymnastic rings with a 10kg disk added to my body (body weight 67kg). My reflexes are way more bettter than when I was 18 and I can play table tannins with my children (10 year old) with lots of fun. After doing sports any big touble looks like a small tiny challenge easy to solve. Thank for the video
Even if it was 9 months ago: Yes, i noticed something wired. After starting excercice I had a feeling like I had a tons of ants in my brain. Quite a while later I noticed that every movement others did was kind of highlighted for me. This effect lasted for 6 months, then it was fading out. Before I had a depression and ans a selftreatment, i started with martial arts. Some years later I trained 16h/week and started also parkour and gymnastics. I learned how much fun it can be to just make complex movements with your body. It is more then 20 years ago. I still train martial arts and if I see a depressed beginner (sometimes I do) I encourage him or her and just tell my story. Now I am one of the trainers. But intresstingly I lever did sports before I get depressed. It has changed my life. In every kind you discussed
i discovered that vigorous aerobic exercise is 150 bpm.You said that vigorous exercise improves information processing, and longer exercises reduce anxiety the best but i want to reduce anxiety How many minutes I should run and in how many beats per minute in order to reduce anxiety?
Thank you for your videos. I love the executive summaries you've made - easy to follow with beautiful illustrations. Best wishes to you on your journey from sunshine Melbourne Australia.
Great video! Is it clear by the studies that there is a causality and not a correlation between exercising and intelligence/career success? Maybe people who are more driven to be successful in their career also want to be more healthy and are more intelligent in general?
After I finished my studies I was really good in math and physics, but now I have forgotten the majority of it, sometimes I have problems with short memory and communication, I suffer from high stress and family issues. I had to find a way to fix this. I fixed my family issues , then i trained for high stress and the sources of it. For the moment calisthenics. I do feel better, also I have been practicing fasting. Long ago I tried meditation, if you can keep the habit, totally will help you. In my case I don't have the patience... Yet. Also my diet I have to keep it in check. In progress. I also recommend having a workshop or something that keep you busy at home or read.
BJJ and wrestling, it's incredibly fun and activates your brain in different ways as you are constantly learning and constantly trying to apply and combine new and old techniques against an active opponent/partner who tries to do the same, always trying to be one step ahead Plus you learn to defend yourself and its a great cardiovascular exercise
kids exercise all the time, that's why their memory is so strong, they don't stop moving, and that's *probably* where you should get better photographic memory
Take a look at your diet. I thought the same thing, exercise only made me feel exhausted. Turns out I'm gluten intolerant and it's been damaging my intestines, making it difficult to absorb nutrients. My body has been screaming at me this whole time and I thought it was normal to feel uncomfortably heavy and have reflux after eating spaghetti.
Within reason, if it is physically safe and healthy to do so. Some people need to eat small but often, others can eat one or two meals in a window. The purpose of intermittent fasting is the put the body in survival mode. Not exactly going to help with anxiety.
I'm from a military family. Most of the people I met in the military were morons. My father did many stupid things on a regular basis. If exercise is so good for intelligence, why are so many military people so unintelligent? My brother's girlfriend's brother was a soldier who could barely form a sentence, and lost his temper several times a day, despite never seeing action. I would never trust him with a weapon. I'm very skeptical about this supposed connection between exercise in the military and increased IQ. Sorry.
Most I can do was 18. Haven't done pushups in a while. Have to wait for my gut to heal a bit before I can make the most of my intestinal absorption, but wait 3 months and presto, I'll start pushing.
Not sustainable, and we have canines for a reason. You cannot find B12 in a vegan diet. Just follow a diet that gives you all the nutrients you need without all the stuff you don't to function at your most optimal level of health. Agreeably though, oat milk is better and tastier than cow's milk. But support local bee keepers, buy honey. It is counterintuitive to care about life on earth, when you don't support bees. Support farmers, buy free range eggs. They're much more nutrient packed, and farmers deserve the helping hand. You can steer clear of meat all you like, but biproducts make the world go round.
Thanks for telling who they studied. Yes, military are low-hanging fruit for test subjects in this case, but it also is biased towards people who would be especially interested in keeping fit, especially since there are programs for fitness before joining the military. You took a narrow group of people at a narrow range of ages ( 18+yo and well below 30yo),and you are generalizing it to everyone. And military training is unbelievably rigorous. I can't think that the normal person crawls through sand pits to train, blowing sand boogars all day for days on end, or deliberately exposes themselves to tear gas. And the everyday person doesn't do Parkour, even though there are exceptional Parkourists on the Internet. And everyday people don't hike miles with a hundred-pound pack on their back. Also, you can't generalize and extrapolate to careers by studying military alone. Once in the military, you have a job no matter what, and pay, no matter what. And you have Veterans' preference points for government positions. Studies must be done for a cross-section of people in society to be valid and significant. And only progressive studies following people into and through their career lives must be done, probably separately. Yes, several progressive studies may have been done, and the totality of these studies can show your conclusions. But they all must be taken together. Also, abilities to exercise and means must be studied. A person having undergone surgery or recovering from an illness may not be able to exercise. A quadriplegic doesn't do the same exercise a weightlifter or runner does. This may all be true. But one study doesn't prove it.
What proves whether or not there is any validation to what he says is doing trying it and not waiting for half of America to do it. If it works,then you will know for yourself.
I was part of that 8%. Walked to and from school (3.5km distance, 7km total, nearly 3 miles), every day, five days a week. And did sport when I was physically up to it (had an ED and undiagnosed celiac).
I and every member of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW) would disagree with you. My Brother in law who is an IBEW brother is quite muscular for his job, and yet to be a Journeyman he has to know quite a bit of book-learning knowledge to have his Journeyman's ticket. That's why they call it *SKILLED* labor. Try putting an airplane together by yourself. A passenger airplane. A military plane. These all take skills you don't get solely through books. But it also takes book learning: mapping. Blueprint interpretation. Relationships between parts. How things must work in proper repair. Troubleshooting. Maintenance. There is an SOP for everything in the military, and military have a lot of book-learning to do.
@@ginnyjollykidd I didn't say they are stupid, it's what society does. And I've seen surveys about heath where they ask you about what you do after work, but not how physically demanding your work itself is.
so i guess steven hawking wasn't that smart especially since most of what he says is pseudoscience cosmology religion that he has never seen or experienced directly like real science demands
yeah, it's well known that football players, basketball, baseball, boxing and weight lifters are in general smarter than the general population... no, not really, so what kind of study is this?
On a certain level, we have a drug store in our brain, the neurochemicals that show up in flow: so dopamine, norepinephrine, anandamide, endorphins, and serotonin. If you were to try to cocktail the street drug version of that, right, you're trying to blend like heroin and speed and coke and acid and weed- and point is, you can't do it. It turns out the brain can cocktail all of 'em at once, which is why people will prefer flow to almost any experience on Earth. It's our favorite experience. It's the most addictive experience on Earth. Why? 'Cause it cocktails five or six of the largest pleasure drugs the brain can produce. We're all capable of so much more than we know. That is a commonality across the board. And one of the big reasons is we're all hardwired for flow, and flow is a massive amplification of what's possible for ourselves.
I decided to stop letting my emotional AND physical pain run me into the ground. With that I got returned blessings. Oh AND i took my big self outside. Much love.🫡

Can we just exercise religiously for 2 yrs straight and be set for life? After the 2 yrs I would not have to move from this couch lol
Can we just eat kale and carrots for two years, then eat MacDonald's for the rest of our lives?
jogging: less anxiety :)
Exercise cured my TDS.
I don't get it. How come jocks in high schools are always portrayed as Slow and dumb . Why now the change
+ intermittent fasting
Within reason, if it is physically safe and healthy to do so. Some people need to eat small but often, others can eat one or two meals in a window. The purpose of intermittent fasting is the put the body in survival mode. Not exactly going to help with anxiety.
I'm from a military family. Most of the people I met in the military were morons. My father did many stupid things on a regular basis. If exercise is so good for intelligence, why are so many military people so unintelligent? My brother's girlfriend's brother was a soldier who could barely form a sentence, and lost his temper several times a day, despite never seeing action. I would never trust him with a weapon. I'm very skeptical about this supposed connection between exercise in the military and increased IQ. Sorry.
Intelligence without knowledge is useless
Stupid people go to military, because they can't go anywhere else. So, stupid first, military second
Exercise benefits those people who have a high IQ from the start. It helps with psychological wellness, self-control, discipline.
Pushups.
That's the secret.
Shut up aerobic mushroom heads.
Look at the marines.
Discipline.
Pushups create Clark Kent's.
Most I can do was 18. Haven't done pushups in a while. Have to wait for my gut to heal a bit before I can make the most of my intestinal absorption, but wait 3 months and presto, I'll start pushing.
... and they put Orcas in SeaWorld and Orcas after a while harm them self ...
Min. 9 You mean 1.4 billion people excersice..not don't...cuz i live in a 100 million people country...only few excersice
like plants vs zombies?
Healthy vegan diet is also important
Not sustainable, and we have canines for a reason.
You cannot find B12 in a vegan diet.
Just follow a diet that gives you all the nutrients you need without all the stuff you don't to function at your most optimal level of health.
Agreeably though, oat milk is better and tastier than cow's milk.
But support local bee keepers, buy honey. It is counterintuitive to care about life on earth, when you don't support bees.
Support farmers, buy free range eggs. They're much more nutrient packed, and farmers deserve the helping hand.
You can steer clear of meat all you like, but biproducts make the world go round.
So, exercise does _a lot_ more than just burn calories.
Most important as we age to use resistance exercise so you don't just waste away
No wonder stephen Hawking is a gym freak
thats why the greeks promoted it , but for some reason Hollywood has made athletes look dumb.
Thanks for telling who they studied.
Yes, military are low-hanging fruit for test subjects in this case, but it also is biased towards people who would be especially interested in keeping fit, especially since there are programs for fitness before joining the military.
You took a narrow group of people at a narrow range of ages ( 18+yo and well below 30yo),and you are generalizing it to everyone.
And military training is unbelievably rigorous. I can't think that the normal person crawls through sand pits to train, blowing sand boogars all day for days on end, or deliberately exposes themselves to tear gas.
And the everyday person doesn't do Parkour, even though there are exceptional Parkourists on the Internet.
And everyday people don't hike miles with a hundred-pound pack on their back.
Also, you can't generalize and extrapolate to careers by studying military alone. Once in the military, you have a job no matter what, and pay, no matter what. And you have Veterans' preference points for government positions.
Studies must be done for a cross-section of people in society to be valid and significant. And only progressive studies following people into and through their career lives must be done, probably separately.
Yes, several progressive studies may have been done, and the totality of these studies can show your conclusions. But they all must be taken together.
Also, abilities to exercise and means must be studied. A person having undergone surgery or recovering from an illness may not be able to exercise. A quadriplegic doesn't do the same exercise a weightlifter or runner does.
This may all be true. But one study doesn't prove it.
What proves whether or not there is any validation to what he says is doing trying it and not waiting for half of America to do it. If it works,then you will know for yourself.
Am 8% of teenagers
I was part of that 8%. Walked to and from school (3.5km distance, 7km total, nearly 3 miles), every day, five days a week. And did sport when I was physically up to it (had an ED and undiagnosed celiac).
It's never about physical jobs, those are not associated with bigger brains but with stupidity.
I and every member of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW) would disagree with you.
My Brother in law who is an IBEW brother is quite muscular for his job, and yet to be a Journeyman he has to know quite a bit of book-learning knowledge to have his Journeyman's ticket.
That's why they call it *SKILLED* labor.
Try putting an airplane together by yourself. A passenger airplane. A military plane. These all take skills you don't get solely through books. But it also takes book learning: mapping. Blueprint interpretation. Relationships between parts. How things must work in proper repair. Troubleshooting. Maintenance. There is an SOP for everything in the military, and military have a lot of book-learning to do.
@@ginnyjollykidd I didn't say they are stupid, it's what society does. And I've seen surveys about heath where they ask you about what you do after work, but not how physically demanding your work itself is.
Where is your source for that assertion about physical jobs being associated with stupidity?
@@karinpowers1018 Old school mentality, manual labor means you have no education. It’s not really true anymore a lot of trade workers have college.
so i guess steven hawking wasn't that smart especially since most of what he says is pseudoscience cosmology religion that he has never seen or experienced directly like real science demands
yeah, it's well known that football players, basketball, baseball, boxing and weight lifters are in general smarter than the general population... no, not really, so what kind of study is this?
On a certain level, we have a drug store in our brain, the neurochemicals that show up in flow: so dopamine, norepinephrine, anandamide, endorphins, and serotonin. If you were to try to cocktail the street drug version of that, right, you're trying to blend like heroin and speed and coke and acid and weed- and point is, you can't do it. It turns out the brain can cocktail all of 'em at once, which is why people will prefer flow to almost any experience on Earth. It's our favorite experience. It's the most addictive experience on Earth. Why? 'Cause it cocktails five or six of the largest pleasure drugs the brain can produce. We're all capable of so much more than we know. That is a commonality across the board. And one of the big reasons is we're all hardwired for flow, and flow is a massive amplification of what's possible for ourselves.
I decided to stop letting my emotional AND physical pain run me into the ground. With that I got returned blessings. Oh AND i took my big self outside. Much love.🫡
