regular exercise puts an output demand on your body. if the output demand is above what you're capable of doing easily, your body will optimize most of its systems to get the output that you're capable of producing up to the level that you're asking (with exercise).

this has the awesome side effect of tuning up your whole nervous system at the same time because the nervous system is critical to performing physically demanding tasks (see: running, lifting weights, fighting).

tuning your nervous system helps regulate brain-chemicals. my lady has a bipolar brain and we work out 4-5 times a week to smooth out the cyclical behavior.

but it's not just exercise: your nutrient intake and sleep schedule also feed into the regulation of your nervous system.

for best effects, approach the problem from all sides at the same time.
