Links this week

Here are some of my favorite mental-health links this week

A podcast episode on the science of vigorous exercise on found my fitness

I liked the evidence that was discussed on improvements made in executive functioning with vigorous exercise. Basically meaning that there is some evidence suggesting that executive functioning (like attention and concentration) improves when people engage in vigorous exercise. This can be valuable news for people who have executive difficulties.
