Exercise has powerful effects on mental health because it directly influences the nervous system and brain chemistry. Movement helps increase neurotransmitters like serotonin and dopamine, which play a role in mood, motivation, and emotional regulation. It also supports the release of endorphins, the body’s natural “feel-good” chemicals.

For thousands of years people have been meditating, often as part of a spiritual practice, but recently, mindfulness has become an extremely effective and popular way to help people manage their stress, support improved mental health and elevate their overall well-being.
