Numerous studies have shown that exercise can be helpful for many mental illnesses such as depression. And mental illness has been one of the most common reasons for absence from work for years.
Increased physical activity is apparently associated with a lower incidence of depressive and anxiety disorders, better cognitive performance and a lower risk of developing dementia.
Physical activity keeps our psyche healthy
In a review published in 2022, which included 1,279 experimental studies on the scientific evidence of the importance of physical activity for mental health, 89% of the studies confirmed significant positive associations between physical activity and mental health. This proves that physical activity keeps our psyche healthy.
