Presentation Transcript

  1. There has long been a strong correlation between physical movement and improved mental health. We wrote earlier about how exercise improves anxiety and stress, and there’s strong evidence to show that it’s not just correlation, but also causation. While being physically fit and active does not preclude you from experiencing mental health issues, keeping the body moving is an integral part of treating and sustaining better mental health, improved mood and increased energy levels. How movement supports the treatment of mental health issues When we exercise, whether it be a HIIT class or a stroll up the street – whatever increases the heart rate even moderately – blood circulation increases to the brain and takes effect on the hypothalamic pituitary adrenal (HPA) axis, which communicates to the limbic system (control centre for moods). Affected too is the amygdala (fear station, responds to stress) and hippocampus (memory, mood and motivation). This built-in ability to improve mental health then supports any other external treatment you may be seeking. Website Visit: mental health services newcastle
