If you want to delve a little deeper: a very interesting new health research projects of the past decade or so has looked at how exactly exercise makes us feel good. Research shows that there appears to be a clear scientific reason, that we can see at a cellular level. When muscles contract, they secrete chemicals into the bloodstream. Among these chemicals are myokines, which have been referred to as “hope molecules”. These small proteins travel to the brain, cross the blood-brain barrier, and act as an antidepressant. They do this by improving our mood, our ability to learn, our capacity for locomotor activity, and protect the brain from the negative effects of ageing. This has been referred to as “muscle-brain cross-talk” The secret to why exercise is so good for mental health? ‘Hope molecules’ | Devi Sridhar | The Guardian Devi Sridhar is Chair of Global Public Health at the University of Edinburgh.

30. ABIDING: Remembering Our Friend
01:47:11We have hit the milestone of 30 episodes of Abiding. A bittersweet milestone as this podcast would not exist in a perfect world, with one of the factors leading to its inception being the loss of Steven Carne. We approach the sad anniversary of his final choice, so a group of his friends have gathered to celebrate happy memories as we talk about our shared laughs and experiences, but this being Abiding; we look at what can and should be done for young men, and adults in general who show the same types of red flags and calls-for-help as Steven did. This podcast exists just to help one person, because Steven could not be helped. So please, look, stop and listen for those who may need any kind of help, as we remember our friend.
29. ABIDING: The Essentials of Islam
39:11Eid Mubarak! It is a time to share, gain or improve all of our understanding of Islam. I am not religious but those who are have my utmost respect, as long as they do not impose their beliefs on others. In my opinion Religion shoud be about leading a better life and helping others to do the same. I have discovered this talk from the well-respected scholar, NOUMAN ALI KHAN who offers an informed, fascinating, balanced, view on the teachings of Islam for all to have a better understanding.
