The study followed a group of 100 participants over the course of six months, tracking their exercise habits and mental health symptoms. Results showed that those who engaged in physical activity at least three times a week reported lower levels of anxiety and depression compared to those who were sedentary.

    Additionally, the study found that the type of exercise did not necessarily matter, as long as participants were consistent in their routines. Whether it was running, weightlifting, or yoga, any form of regular physical activity was associated with improved mental well-being.

    Researchers emphasize the importance of incorporating exercise into daily routines, not only for physical health but also for mental well-being. They recommend young adults to find an activity they enjoy and stick to it consistently to reap the mental health benefits.

    Overall, the study highlights the positive impact of exercise on mental health and encourages individuals to prioritize physical activity as a way to improve their overall well-being.
