Captain Sinbad Ran A Mile Every Day For 30 Days. Here’s What Happened!
Since the Coronavirus outbreak, a lot of us have been spending a lot of time inside our homes and like most of the things, our fitness levels have taken a huge hit. A lot of people have taken up running as a form of exercise to stay active and get some fresh air in.
Youtuber, Captain Sinbad aka Nikhil Pandey, in one of his videos took up a challenge to run a mile everyday for 30 days and he has pretty interesting things to talk about.
Cap. starts off by talking about a book called Spark: The Revolutionary New Science of Exercise and the Brain and how it talks about a compound called BDNF(Brain-derived neurotrophic factor). He says, “While Neurotransmitters carry out signalling, neurotrophins such as BDNF build and maintain cell circuitry and as it turns out, aerobic exercises in particular increases BDNF which in turn increases altertness, motivation and the ability to learn.”
