▼ Summary
Mental toughness, crucial for enduring physical challenges, relies heavily on psychological factors, with activities like planking serving as practical tests of resilience.
The protein BDNF plays a significant role in mental toughness and grit by supporting neuron health, and exercise can enhance its levels, leading to improved mental health.
Engaging in exercises that require mental focus, such as yoga, significantly boosts BDNF production and can aid in managing chronic pain conditions like CRPS.
