In today's fast-paced world, stress has become a constant companion, impacting both our physical and mental health. Chronic stress can lead to anxiety, depression, heart disease, and more. Fortunately, exercise offers a natural, effective way to combat stress. Physical activity reduces stress hormones, boosts mood-enhancing chemicals, improves sleep, and strengthens both body and mind. From aerobic exercises like walking and cycling to mind-body practices like yoga, each form of exercise has unique benefits for stress management. By incorporating regular movement into daily life, even in small bursts, we can better cope with life's pressures and improve our overall well-being.
