Movement is the Medicine Podcast

💡 Movement Boosts Minds! 🧠✨ A new study reveals that physical activity can significantly improve IQ in kids and teens – further evidence that movement is not just for bodies but also for brains! 🏃♂️📚 The research highlights how regular exercise sharpens cognitive functions, enhances learning, and supports overall mental health. In a world where screen time is at an all-time high, this is a crucial reminder: when kids move, their minds thrive. At Movement is the Medicine, we’re passionate about unlocking the power of physical activity to help kids and teens reach their full potential – physically, mentally, and emotionally. 🎧 Tune in to our latest episodes as we explore the transformative impact of movement and sports on young lives with athletes, coaches, and experts who share powerful stories and strategies to get kids moving. Let’s prioritize movement for healthier, happier, and brighter futures! #MovementIsTheMedicine #YouthDevelopment #PhysicalActivity #BrainHealth #IQ #SportsForKids

Shocking Statistics: Only 1 in 5 Youths Meet Daily Physical Activity Guidelines! The latest research highlights a serious issue facing our youth: only 20% of kids meet recommended daily physical activity guidelines. This lack of movement has enormous implications for their physical and mental health, academic performance, and overall well-being. At Movement is the Medicine Podcast; we’re passionate about changing this narrative by championing movement for every child. Studies from the CDC and Physical Activity Alliance reveal that regular physical activity in kids leads to: ✅ Better mental health and lower levels of depression ✅ Improved cognition and academic performance ✅ Healthier bones, muscles, and cardiorespiratory fitness. If we want to give our kids the best start, we must move toward a future where every child has the opportunity to thrive through physical activity. 💪 Let’s get them moving—whether through sports, dance, or outdoor adventures!
