Walk for Your Mind

Walking isn’t just physical exercise; it’s also for mental refreshment. Studies show that even a 10-minute brisk walk can improve mood and reduce anxiety and stress.

Bonus: walking outdoors boosts vitamin D, which supports brain health. Think of it as therapy for both your muscles and your mind.

Walking and physical activity in general, release endorphins (chemicals that promote happiness) while we move. They also reduce the levels of stress hormones like cortisol, thereby boosting our ability to relax and unwind.
