Exercise does not just help your body. It also helps your mind. 🧠💪
Research shows that even small amounts of regular physical activity can lower the risk of depression.
When you move, your body releases chemicals that support brain health, reduce inflammation, and improve mood.
For some people with mild depression, exercise might even work as well as medication or therapy.
Moving your body is one of the simplest ways to support both your physical and mental health.
