Stressed? Get to the gym!

It's common knowledge that regular exercise comes with a plethora of physical benefits, but often overlooked are the mental health advantages many receive from working out. 

Cardio and weight-lifting may not just make you look better, they will probably make you feel better too. Enhanced good mood, increased energy, and focus has all been linked to regular exercise. 

According to helpguide.org, exercise can help treat mild cases of depression, anxiety, ADHD, and just stress in general.  This is because the physical activity triggers calming and happiness-inducing chemicals in your brain such as dopamine, norepinephrine, and endorphins.  

So next time you're overly stressed, cancel your Netflix binge and junk food eating session; instead, hit the gym!
