When you push through the fatigue and engage in light physical activity, this protein is released. It is a crucial element that clears the mind and significantly boosts focus and memory.<\/p><p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;Exercise sends proteins created in the muscles through the bloodstream to the brain, where they play a pivotal role in the core mechanisms of our highest thought processes.&#8221;<\/span><\/i><\/p><p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2014 John J.
