CITY, State (Fox News) — A new study has found that regular exercise can improve mental health and reduce the risk of depression in adults. Researchers at Harvard University conducted a 10-year study on over 10,000 participants and found that those who engaged in regular physical activity were less likely to experience symptoms of depression.

  The study also revealed that the benefits of exercise on mental health were particularly significant in adults over the age of 50. The researchers suggest that incorporating regular exercise into daily routines can have positive effects on mental well-being and overall quality of life.

  These findings highlight the importance of physical activity not only for physical health but also for mental health. The researchers hope that their study will encourage more adults to prioritize exercise as a way to improve their mental well-being and reduce the risk of depression.
