Side Quest – Exercise
Introduction
Welcome to the third side quest. In the core quest, you learnt how nutrition affects your mood. Here you will learn that exercise has very similar effects – not only does it contribute to a fit and healthy body, but to a happy and alert mind.
Challenge 2: Exercise & Sport
