Fasting, cold Shower, and high-intensity interval training are the most effective ways to release BDNF, which creates new neurons. Running is also effective. Outdoor running, which provides diverse balance stimulation through varied foot contact surfaces, is better than treadmill running. Suicide victims typically have low BDNF levels. Change always begins with discomfort.
When BDNF increases new brain cells, memory, concentration, and judgment improve, and new information is better absorbed.
