COPA HEALTH 31 DAYS OF HEALING: HAPPY BODY, HAPPY MIND
May 23, 2021, Mesa, AZ: Studies reveal that exercise improves mental health.
Copa’s Health Coach, Michele Spear, shares the news that staying active isn’t just good for your body–it’s good for your mental health as well.
Staying active improves mental health. Studies show people who exercise at least 2-3 times weekly experience significantly less depression, anger, and stress compared to people that exercise less or not at all. Ideally, exercise should include both cardiovascular and strength training. Start out slow and increase your time to avoid injuries.
