Lifting Weights and Lifting Spirits: The Surprising Link Between Fitness and Mental Health
Regular physical exercise has been discovered to have a profound impact on mental health.
Regular exercise routines can reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression and ADHD.
There's a new wave of understanding washing over the world of fitness, and it's not just about building muscle or dropping weight; it's about the profound link between physical health and mental well-being. Plain and simple, if you're seeking a natural mood booster, look no further than your local gym or favourite hiking trail. Physical activity, whether that's pumping iron or pumping your own two legs on a run, gets those endorphins flowing – your brain's own natural opiates. They are the 'happy hormones' like serotonin that help keep those grey clouds at bay and allow your mind to bask in its own sunny disposition.
