ACT, healthy habits, brain chemicals and neuroplasticity.

[Guest guest]

I've read that a proper exercise/diet/sleep schedule over time can increase

endorphins/serotonin (not sure if I have the brain chemical names right) and

this in turn can reduce the frequency of " negative thoughts/improve mood " and

such. Also that the brain can change to be more " positive/emotionally

resilient " . How does this tie in with ACT? I'm under the understanding that we

mostly can't control our thoughts and emotions, so should we expect or aim to

improve our mood, or would this just be another thinking trap? Obviously living

a healthier lifestyle is sure to PHYSICALLY bring about many benefits, but can

it change our mind/brain and emotions for the better?
