Movement and your mental health
Movement isn’t just good for your body – it’s essential for your mind too. Regular physical
activity helps reduce stress, anxiety and symptoms of depression by releasing feel-good
chemicals like endorphins and serotonin.
Whether it’s a brisk walk, a dance class or gentle stretching , moving your body can clear
your mind, lift your mood and help you feel more in control.
Even small amounts of movement during the day can make a big difference in your mental
wellbeing.
