Mental Health
In Australia, 1 in 5 will be affected each year by a mental illness. There are several mental health conditions of which Depression, Anxiety and PTSD are the most common. Exercise is not only good for your physical health but also your mental health. Research supports that exercise stimulates chemicals in the brain that improve your mood, helping fight stress and symptoms associated with Depression and Anxiety.
Did you know that there is no immunity to mental illness and it is more common than you think with 45% of Australians experiencing some mental health concern during their lifetime?
