THOMAS JEFFERSON

attributed, Day's Collacon
I always like to tell people having about 12 minutes of exercise is like taking a little bit of Ritalin and a little bit of Prozac just in the right place in a very holistic kind of way, because that's what Ritalin and Prozac do. They increase the levels, at least initially, of serotonin on the one hand and dopamine on the other. And it seems to help many people feel more focused, feel calmer, feel less stressed.
PETER GOODWIN
