Physical activities help our mental health
Exercising regularly helps us stay healthy. Many people who are active don't tend to get sick as much. Exercising not only helps you physically, but it also helps you improve your mental health and overall well-being.
It is important to keep in mind that exercise does not necessarily have to be energetic, you can find an activity that fits perfectly with your daily routine and your tastes, for example, walking.
It is never too late to start having a quality life with a completely healthy mental, physical and emotional health. If you've never exercised or haven't exercised in a while, don't worry, focus on starting now and set a goal to achieve it. However, be sure to take steps to avoid injury, remember that hydration and nutrition also play an important role, as ingesting the right nutrients provides what you need to exercise and drinking fluids helps prevent dehydration.
Not to be left out, physical activity not only brings benefits to our physical health, but also to our mental health. For example:
Eliminates mental fatigue, relaxes you completely.
It improves your memory, your creativity and most importantly, it helps you emotionally.
It is a treatment that helps to avoid or eliminate depression, anxiety, insomnia, among others.

Personally, exercise is an activity that we should do regularly, it is so necessary, it prevents us from many things and brings a lot of health to our mind and body. From my experience it is highly recommended, it is not necessary to do something energetic, it is enough with something simple and that helps you at the same time to clear your mind.
How to start exercising?
Earlier I mentioned that we can exercise in different ways. There are many physical activities that can be adapted to your daily routine, and that also help our health.
Finally, I will leave you some exercises that you will surely like and will help you in this process:
Swimming: Reduces anxiety level, improves self-esteem and socialization.
Walking: Helps to clear the mind and keep negative thoughts away.
Yoga: It is a method in which you try to concentrate your mind on a specific element so that the rest of the stimuli fade away.
These exercises are ideal to relieve stress, relax and get a deep and continuous sleep. Taking 20 to 30 minutes of exercise is more than enough to generate these benefits in our mental health, in turn influencing our physical health.
