Physical Activity and Mental Health
Being active releases chemicals in your brain that make you feel good - boosting your self-esteem and helping you concentrate as well as sleep well and feel better. Not bad for something many of us can do for free!
Regular exercise can have a profoundly positive impact on depression,
anxiety, and ADHD. It also relieves stress, improves memory, helps you
sleep better, and boosts your overall mood. And you don’t have to be a
fitness fanatic to reap the benefits. Research indicates that modest
amounts of exercise can make a real difference. No matter your age or
fitness level, you can learn to use exercise as a powerful tool to deal
with mental health problems, improve your energy and outlook, and get
more out of life.
