The Impact of Fitness on Your Mental Health

Are you ever amazed by what your body can do? Maybe you can lift heavier items than your friends, or run faster than you ever thought possible. The truth is, your body is an amazing machine, capable of immense physical feats. But did you know that being fit and active also does wonders for your mind?

You’ve probably heard of endorphins. These are ‘feel good’ chemicals your brain produces during and after exercise. Endorphins work like natural painkillers and mood elevators, making us feel happy and excited. They’re the reason you feel that sense of euphoria after a great gym session or heart-pounding run.

But endorphins are just the beginning. Regular exercise also helps decrease levels of hormones like adrenaline and cortisol, which are tied to stress and anxiety. In their place, your brain produces more of hormones like serotonin and dopamine, which help us feel calm, relaxed and, yes, happy.

On top of that, fitness helps regulate your body’s internal clock, meaning you’ll likely get a better night’s sleep. In turn, this promotes healthier brain function and mood regulation. Rested brains are less prone to anxiety and depression and more apt to handle life’s ups and downs.
