Z'z Daily NewZ 07 - We got to MOVE!

DID YOU KNOW toddlers move 5 hours a day

!!!

In a recent article featured in The New York Times by @janceedunn, the spotlight is on the invaluable lessons toddlers impart on cultivating happiness in adulthood. 

Observing children, we discover their innate propensity to embrace joy, moving their bodies an average of 5 hours daily without inhibition. Unlike adults who may reserve physical activity for designated times, children act on their impulses to move whenever restlessness strikes. This spontaneous movement triggers the release of various molecules, including BDNF, a potent enhancer of positive emotions such as dopamine and serotonin.

Dopamine, known for fueling motivation and excitement, also stimulates the serotonin reward system, fostering resilience and coping abilities. So, the next time you're feeling out of sorts, consider a spontaneous burst of activity as a potential remedy.
