> “We’re not talking about mental health,” Sanabria clarifies. “That’s a different subject.” This quote was the explanation from the article for why they dismissed physical exercise as a valid way of improving one's cognitive performance. Because it only directly improves mental health and not your cognitive performance. That is a rather strange take. Sure, yeah, if we remove the one thing (mental health) that arguably nets the most improvement to your own life that affects every single area of it, including how others perceive you, then yeah, sure, we can dismiss exercise. Not sure why one would want to do that though, since their "that's a different subject" take doesn't sound that convincing, unless they want to argue that being mentally healthy doesn't contribute to cognitive performance (which imo would contribute to being more successful in a professional environment).
