Exercise can be a powerful tool for promoting good mental health, and can be incorporated into a comprehensive treatment plan for those struggling with mental health conditions.

1 Reduced symptoms of anxiety and depression - Exercise reduces anxiety and depression symptoms via endorphins, natural mood-boosters released during physical activity.

2 Improved cognitive function - Exercise helps to prevent or slow the progression of cognitive decline associated with aging or neurodegenerative diseases.

3 Improved sleep - Regular exercise can improve sleep quality, which is essential for good mental health.

4 Reduced stress - Exercise can help to reduce stress by reducing levels of the stress hormone cortisol and promoting relaxation.
