Exercise not only changes your body. It changes your mind, your attitude and your mood.
— Unknown
Apparently, exercise promotes chemicals in the brain that improve your mood and make you more relaxed. Specifically, the brain releases feel-good chemicals (endorphins) throughout the body. Physical activity reduces anxiety/depression, enhances self-esteem, boosts energy and brainpower. 30 minutes or more of exercise a day for three to five days a week may significantly improve depression or anxiety symptoms and smaller amounts (10-15 mins a time) can also make a difference. At a time like this, at least we can still exercise (in our homes, or outside in nature). Just sayin’ ;) Hugs. XO
