Caroline Williams Knihy

Ve zdravém těle zdravý duch. Tuhle ideu zná lidstvo už od dob starých Řeků, a jen málokdo dnes pochybuje o tom, jestli je pravdivá. Jenže jak ji převést do praxe? Caroline Williamová ve své nové knize Pohyb! odkrývá, jak dokážou nové vědecké poznatky o pohybu těla uvolnit naši mysl. Vychází z premisy, že se nervová soustava nevyvinula primárně kvůli myšlení, ale kvůli pohybu. A protože autonomní pohyb má smysl pouze ve chvíli, kdy můžete řídit jeho směr a určit si cíl, přemýšlení dostali živočichové do vínku jako bonus. Co se však stane s myslí člověka, který se díky pokroku a moderním vymoženostem prakticky přestane hýbat? Věděli jste, že chůze dokáže zlepšit vaše kognitivní schopnosti? Že posilování středu těla (core trénink) snižuje úzkost? Že lehký strečink dokáže bojovat s celou řadou duševních a tělesných neduhů, od stresu po záněty? Všichni víme, že cvičení mění způsob, jakým přemýšlíme a cítíme. Vědci ale teprve začínají zjišťovat, jak přesně to funguje. Teorii kniha doplňuje konkrétními radami, které mohou čtenáři aplikovat na vlastní život.
