People who exercise regularly have better mental health and emotional wellbeing, and lower rates of mental illness.
Regular exercise may help ease depression and anxiety by releasing feel-good endorphins and other natural brain chemicals that can enhance your sense of well-being.
Adults meeting physical activity recommendations (equivalent to 2.5 h/wk of brisk walking) had lower risk of depression, compared with adults reporting no physical activity.
More great evidence that brain health is all about good general health, and another great reason to get moving!
