Studies indicate that women typically possess 70-80% less creatine reserves compared to men. This discrepancy underscores the importance of supplementation to enhance both physical and mental well-being. By supplementing with creatine, women can experience improvements in strength, muscle mass, mood, and cognitive function, especially during specific phases of their life cycles.

[Exercise Helps Your Brain as Much as Your Body]( Research tends to focus on exercise's impact on physical health. However, J. David Creswell explains in this article that exercise also works wonders for your brain. Studies show that exercise can alleviate anxiety, elevate mood, and boost your overall mental health. Particularly intriguing is the finding from animal studies, where voluntary exercise led to happier, healthier brains compared to forced exercise (which can induce anxiety). He also discusses how socially engaging sports like tennis or badminton offer physical benefits and amplify longevity more significantly than solitary exercises due to their added social interaction.

While anxiety can work well in the short term as a natural alarm system (prompting changes to avoid perceived dangers), persistent or intense anxiety can signal a disorder, especially when it affects your daily activities and quality of life. Anxiety disorders, prevalent among a third of US adults, often coexist with depression and share similar brain pathways. Click the link above to learn how lifestyle changes like exercise and deep breathing can help you manage anxiety symptoms.   Love, JJ   P.S.
