Five takeaways:
- This article concerns a recent study of the physical behavior and mental mood of over 1.2 million Americans that showed conclusively that exercise makes a person happier and mentally at peace.
- They asked Americans of different exercise frequencies, activities, and income levels, “How many times have you felt mentally unwell in the past 30 days, due to stress, depression, or emotional problems?”
- The scientists found that, while those who exercised regularly tended to feel bad for around 35 days a year, non-active participants felt bad for 18 days more on average.
- Scientists also found that physically active people feel just as good as those who don’t do sports, but who earn around $25,000 more a year.
- The scientists also found, however, that too much exercise can be detrimental to your health. More than 3-5 sessions of 30-60 minutes per week was determined to be ideal.
