Regular exercise has been shown to increase mental health.
It relieves the stress that can affect emotional health, helping to offset the effects of anger, depression, anxiety and tension.
Keeping fit has been linked to a more agile mind later in life, and fewer effects of dementia type disorders.
Stress has repeatedly been linked to illness. So handling stress by walking the dog has the benefit of improving both your mood and your health.
But if that wasn’t enough incentive to exercise, living healthier LONGER and enjoying life should be plenty of motivation.
