How can being active help mental health? Being active, whether that be walking, going to the gym, dancing round the house or simply something that gets your body moving, is one of the best things you can do for your mental health as they all act as a natural mood booster. When we do any form of exercise our bodies release feel-good hormones that can help us sleep better and even reduce anxiety and stress. As well as this, being active can improve brain health and cognitive function, boost moods, help with heart, muscle and bone health and help reduce long term health conditions. What is your favourite way to stay active? Let us know in the comments! #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek2024
