I just finished reading his book and it led me here. I like his voice! Interesting talk!

Thank you so much for this video/talk. It really helped me recently when I got hit with some anxiety. I had just stopped training Brazilian jiu jitsu after training for 5 years and got hit with acute anxiety a few months after stopped training. I watched this video and got back to training the same day. The feeling was incredible, I completely changed within 1 day after training again. I completely believe the body HAS to be moving. I will always stay active from now on

My notes: Walk fast for 40 minutes every day and your hippocampus will grow instead of shrink every year, increasing your creativity, mood, attention, memory

Walking does nothing for me running made me feel better now I can't anymore

I'm grateful to have learned that running can work for alleviating mild to moderate depression. I'll have to remember that in order to deal with the usual "SAD" depression I get in the wintertime. I remember how very much better I would immediately feel after a 20 minute, moderately strenuous stationary bike ride.

For years i was looking any motivation video, training, research, or even real life experience but after watching this i really got motivated and will start today. Thank You Anders Hansen

Excellent talk, very clearly explained, great examples. We are effectively still designed the same as when we lived on the African Savannah. A crucial talk in these times when sedentary living and overweight/obesity stats are skyrocketing! As a teacher and neuroeducation expert, I see it as an urgent challenge to incroporate more physical activity into our classrooms, schools, universities and daily lives. Thanks Anders for this stellar talk and also much appreciate the use of non-sexist language!

love this as a general refresher on importance of exercise, but we have to always bear in mind correlation doesn't equal causation

Well, as a kid, growing up in small village, it was always like this - you moved a lot, and it just worked. We use philosophy too mch these days, it is really very simple - your body and mind needs an outlet....by moving you get one.

Thank you for the excellant ted speech. I was really motivated that I have to walk and execercise. It must be cheapest way to slow down aging and decrease the probability of getting disease.

Great job! I hope that more and more people will benefit from your knowledge. Rest assured that I will do my best to spread the word as much as I can. Thanks for your book and also for the talk in TEDx!

right on. enjoy it thoroughly. so true

Great talk. So much info.

6:29 Brain is built for movement

Exercise is about something much more fundamental than that. Thank you !

Hi Today our TV program in Japan introduced your book about smartphones and brains. Then I came here. These facts you provided are very convincing, even though you haven't touched on any smartphones this time! Thanks. I will cherish my daily exercises more. And I really like the idea that even jogging has value as much as many other advanced technology in medical fields!

Thx great info

Excellent talk! Interesting, entertaining and motivating!

What I find frustrating is it isn't about steps but steps and heartrate. Most of the people I know are focused on adding steps and not the way they're getting them. I walk at my job for most of the shift but rarely have a need to increase my heartrate except out of frustration.

スマホ脳を読んで、Tedも観たくなったので訳があってよかった！ありがとうございます

Brilliant !

I loved it . I will definitely follow

This dude is smart!

Fantastic talk.The brain & body are built for movement and physical labor. What's the best action plan?

very nice

I agree with what he says in general but not 100% with his conclusions, that the improvement is due to dopamine exclusively and the mental evolutionary "run to hunt" reason he gives, to some degree yes but I think there is also some purely mechanical reason, like increased blood flow to the brain for example that improves mood and cognition. Also, the reason he gives for why we tend to be couch potatoes has to do with conservation of energy from a evolutionary perspective, but I think there's a drop of efficiency with lower health that leads to a laziness or disinclination to move. Again, a mechanical reason instead of a mental reason. Great talk though, thanks very much.

Dr hansen,when reading on screen,do you retain or understand as much as when reading hardcopy in adulthood,i enjoyed your talk with dr chattergee.

NICE Video👍

It was a great talk, I think meditation and exercise are the key to keeping the brain healthy. But just as an anecodote when he said alcohol and drugs make the hippocampus shrink - the smartest guy I know (PhD computer scientist) drinks about 10 beers a night and then gives lectures to post-grad students lol.

The book fired up my desire to run. I started running. And I got knee pain. Rested for weeks. Recoverd. I decided to Start with walking thinking about my level. And I got knee pain after WALKING for 23km under 6 hours. The pain is not gone for months. A doctor said I need rest. After 1 month more, NOW I am thinking to meet another new doctor. I hope recover well and Run without pain for hours later. Yeap your book inspired me , I now start to read your book again after your this comment. I think Re-reading will give me more inlightment because I have experience.

So does it have to be aerobic exercises?

por qué no tiene mas el subtitulo??

I got a disease that prevented me running I'm now overweight I cannot sweat anymore I'd to give up the running I loved if gain weight even if I trained wasn't fun anymore it was a shame. I don't know why it happened 😕

Some of the comparisons are ridiculous. The people of Savanna and other such places living the hunter gatherer life are, well, still hunter gatherers while the population you are comparing them with have enormously evolved brains. Thus, such comparisons fails. You'd do better to cut the fluff and just state that people must move. That I agree with you 100% percent.

You can take a young child from a group of hunter-gatherers in the remote Australian outback, and put them in Western grammar schools and they will do just as well as their classmates. Read about it. The brains are the same.

Or just return to hunter-gatherer.

OK, exercise is good. But the reason given sucks. If we look at people as a whole, the industrialized world has become more sedentary but our IQ has improved. The hypothesis of why is pretty horrid.

By and large our diet has improved, we as a population have attended school more, we have (compared to earlier generations) increasingly trained cognitive functions that are associated with IQ tests, etc. Granted, the IQ-improving effect of exercise is not huge, but given what we've previously thought we've known about intelligence, even a small bump is quite remarkable. Big picture Peter, big picture.

What do mean by IQ? Being well informed is not the same as having a good analytical processing. The ease of accessing information by just several clicks does not equate to IQ.
