Abstract:
Physical activity is widely known for its benefits to the body, such as improving cardiovascular health, strength, and endurance. However, recent research shows that exercise also has a profound impact on mental health. Regular physical activity can reduce stress, anxiety, and depression, improve mood, and enhance cognitive functions. For students, professionals, and anyone living a busy life, exercise is not just a physical tool—it is a powerful way to maintain mental well-being.
