Fitness is the key to good health. Everyone knows
that. But did you know that exercise can make you
happy? When we exercise we produce chemicals in
our brain called endorphins that make us feel
positive and energetic. Doing just half an hour of
exercise a day can improve how we feel.
Researchers did experiments with people suffering
from depression. The people were asked to do just
30 minutes of exercise a day like walking, running,
swimming or cycling. The people were asked to
record how they felt before and after the exercise
over the course of a month. The results showed a
significant improvement in happiness levels.
