Exercise is necessary for mental health

We all know how important exercise is for keeping us physically healthy. But at the same time,
we also know that exercise also helps us keep ourself, mentally healthy. In Australia, researcher
says that people who exercise regularly have better mental health and emotional wellbeing, and
lower rates of mental illness. Exercise can also boost memory and thinking indirectly by
improving mood and sleep, and by reducing stress and anxiety. people who exercise tend to do
so because it gives them an enormous sense of well-being. They feel more energetic throughout
the day, sleep better at night, have sharper memories, and feel more relaxed and positive about
themselves and their lives, and it’s also powerful medicine for many common mental health
challenges. Often, people who exercise regularly do it simply because it makes them feel good.
Exercise can boost your mood concentration, and alertness, and sharpen your memory which
helps us to take quick and accurate decisions in life. Exercise can reduce skeletal muscle tension,
which you feel more relaxed. Studies show that exercise can treat mild to moderate depression as
effectively as antidepressant medication but without the side effect. There has been an increase
in the number of people living with dementia and in people with cognitive decline. The main
symptom of dementia is memory loss, it is a progressive disease that results in people becoming
more impaired over time. Physical exercise has been identified as a protective factor in studies
that examined the risk factor of dementia. For people who have already developed the disease,
physical activity can help to delay further decline in functioning.
Doing 30 minutes or more of exercise a day for three to five days a week may significantly
improve depression or anxiety symptoms and make your memory sharpen and quick, but smaller
amounts of physical activity as little as 10 to 15 minutes at a time may make a difference. It may
take less time exercising to improve your mood when you doing such as running, cycling,
walking, etc. the mental health benefits of exercise and physical activity may last only if you
stick with it over the long term.
Thank you.
