Activities & Exercise for Wellness
We all take for granted that regular exercise is good for the body. But exercise is also one of the most effective ways to improve your mental health. Regular exercise — even just 15 minutes a few times a week — can have a profoundly positive impact on depression, anxiety, ADHD, and more. It also relieves stress, improves memory, helps you sleep better, and boosts overall mood. And you don’t have to be a fitness fanatic to reap the benefits.
