Regular exercise is something that essentially everyone knows is good for them. We all know that it will help you control weight, help you stay healthy, sleep better, decrease stress and even make your sex life better. One major side effect of regular exercise is you will look better and in turn that will give you more confidence.
But did you know... exercise will effect you mood? When exercise regularly that is 3 or 4 times a week endorphins and serotonin will be released into your brain. The endorphins help to decrease stress, diminish pain and can give you a euphoric feeling, making you happier. Then there is also serotonin, which is a natural mood enhancer. When serotonin increases symptoms of depression decrease. It is like a happy drug.
So these chemicals you release when exercising into your brain will promote a number of positive emotional effects. These effects include improved self-esteem, enhanced mood, better memory and mental functioning, and decreased stress.
Help keep yourself positive and happy by exercising regularly. Now I have to hit the treadmill. Have a great day!
