I read another article a while ago about BDNF (I think it may be posted on the sticky articles thread at the top of the forum). They suggested that certain types of exercise are more beneficial for BDNF than others. I believe walking was one.

There are also some dietary supplements that you can take to increase BDNF or decrease whatever the corresponding bad chemical is. Acetyl-l-carnitine is one that happens to do both.
