    When someone experiences a stressful event, the amygdala, an area of the brain that contributes to emotional processing, sends a distress signal to the hypothalamus. This area of the brain functions like a command center, communicating with the rest of the body through the nervous system so that the person has the energy to fight or flee.

    what is stress? Stress is a normal physical response to events that make you feel threatened or upset your balance in some way.

    We respond to stress in a unique way, it almost becomes "normal" to us. When we are overloaded by stress that is where many problems kick in and there is not much we can do about it besides try to control whatever it is that is bothering us and causing this stress

    *sticky note* Your muscles activate your brain receptors. So knowing that your brain is more active with your muscles, exercising them would be a huge benefit and aid to a better lifestyle

    *sticky note* Mental exercise for the brain: on an everyday basis our brain is learning a new skill. This uses a lot of power from our brain which requires us EXERCISING our brain physically and mentally ***Example of an exercise you can do whenever you are on the computer: switch the hand you are using to move your mouse. It must feel pretty awkward but it's alright you are exercising movement AND learning a new skill at the same time.

    *sticky note* If you think sitting behind your computer or TV screen is going to get you smarter... Think again! It really doesn't in fact it affects us in a bad way. Weakens our eyes, and uses so much energy from our brain. Where on the other hand, just walking can benefit us a ton. It helps our blood circulation and the oxygen/glucose that reaches our brain.

    *sticky note* Exercise improves our memory, helps us remember our studies, wakes up our brain in the morning. Enhances our brain cells, creates higher brain functions. These are just the *few things that exercising does for us. It is quite amazing

    *sticky note* Exercising also helps our aging process. Exercise fools our brain into thinking we are younger when we begin exercising on a daily basis which could be great for you. Who wouldn't want to feel 40 when they're really 50? I know i would

    *sticky note* Physical exercise protects our brain as we age, it creates endurance and a motivated/confident mindset which obviously can aid us in a huge way in the future.

    *sticky note* exercise balances out the chemicals i our brain which helps our nerve cells. And if you don't know our whole body functions on nerve cells (like a messenger) so without exercise we can never really perform to the fullest.

    *sticky note* exercise also benefits us in many ways! for example: it avoids MAJOR stress from us. It also keeps us motivated and confident so that if ever a bad situation comes up, we would not go into a dull zone and become depressed.

    *sticky note* It's good to be happy when exercising. Exercise also helps our reparative cell (we begin to lose nerve tissue nearing our 30's). Exercise helps slow that process down by A LOT. Which helps us live on healthy lived. People you see in the newspaper or online that are 100 years old! They don't just magically get that old by just sitting on there couch eating junk. They EXERCISE everyday to stay fit.

    *sticky note* It helps generate new neurons which provides many benefits. Study shows that people who began exercising at there teen years and that are now 65-70 are much more active and healthy than any other 65-70 year olds.
