October 10th~ World Mental Health Day!

Practicing a little self care is so important.

Today we are talking about exercise and the benefits to our mental health.

It is amazing how many people think they need to be doing a hard and stressful workout in order to see the benefits… it couldn’t be further from the truth.

Research shows that by simply moving MORE throughout the day, getting your 10,000 steps, this elevates your serotonin and dopamine levels and there fore improves your mood and mental wellbeing.

You don’t need to beat yourself up with a hard workout… how about trying a 10 minute HIIT or a brisk walk? Exercise can work wonders… and combined with good food can significantly improve your mental health.
