How Does Exercise Improve Mental Health?

Exercise and mental health

Please see this article from helpguide.org.

“People who exercise regularly 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 a powerful medicine for many common mental health challenges.

Regular exercise can have a profoundly positive impact on depression, anxiety, and ADHD. It also relieves stress, improves memory, helps you sleep better, and boosts your overall mood. And you don’t have to be a fitness fanatic to reap the benefits. Research indicates that modest amounts of exercise can make a real difference.”

World Suicide Prevention Day is on 10th September 2024

World Suicide Prevention Day takes place every year on September 10th.

Organisations and communities from around the world come together to raise awareness of suicide and the support available.

Andy shares his story about his friend’s suicide on the Cruse website

“Losing Marc had a profound impact on me. I really didn’t know what to think at the time and would definitely say that grief didn’t hit me straight away … With the help of family and friends, and perhaps most importantly, grief support, I felt like I was coming out of the other side. Mental health still has such a stigma attached to it, especially for men, often preventing us from talking about it openly.”
