The Role of Exercise in Stress Reduction
Why Physical Activity Eases Stress
Exercise is one of the most effective ways to combat stress. Physical activity boosts the production of endorphins, your body’s natural mood enhancers. Studies in the U.S. show that people who exercise regularly report lower levels of stress. Even a 30-minute walk can help clear your mind and reduce cortisol levels.
Incorporating strength training, yoga, or cardio into your routine not only improves physical health but also mental resilience. The key is to choose an activity you enjoy so that it becomes a regular part of your life.
