“Physical activity is important for academic success as it boosts blood flow and oxygen to the brain, improving cognitive functions like memory and attention. It also stimulates neurotransmitters like dopamine and serotonin, enhancing mood and reducing stress. Overall, physical activity supports both mental and physical health, and schools that encourage it can strengthen the link between a healthy body and mind.”

My son has ADHD, and I wish we had something like this when he was younger. It’s great to see a product that blends educational support and proactive health initiatives.”
