Facts about exercise

There are many types of physical activity, including swimming, running, jogging, walking, and dancing, to name a few.

Being active has been shown to have many health benefits, both physically and mentally. It may even help you live longer
Benefits of Regular Exercise
Exercise can make you feel happier
Exercise has been shown to improve your mood and decrease feelings of depression, anxiety, and stress

It produces changes in the parts of the brain that regulate stress and anxiety. It can also increase brain sensitivity to the hormone’s serotonin and norepinephrine, which relieve feelings of depression
Additionally, exercise can increase the production of endorphins, which are known to help produce positive feelings and reduce the perception of pain

Interestingly, it doesn’t matter how intense your workout is. It seems that exercise can benefit your mood no matter the intensity of the physical activity.

In fact, in a study in 24 women diagnosed with depression, exercise of any intensity significantly decreased feelings of depression
The effects of exercise on mood are so powerful that choosing to exercise (or not) even makes a difference over short periods of time.

One review of 19 studies found that active people who stopped exercising regularly experienced significant increases in symptoms of depression and anxiety, even after only a few weeks
