study after study has shown what we all instinctively know— regular physical activity is essential for good mental health. yet very few canadians get enough. just 9% of kids. only 20% of adults. that leaves a lot of people missing out on the mental health benefits of activity. when you exercise, your body releases endorphins, chemicals that reduce feelings of pain and increase feelings of pleasure, literally boosting your mood. at the same time, it also reduces the amount of stress hormones, like cortisol, floating around in your body. that’s why on #BellLetsTalk day, ParticipACTION believes physical activity should be part of the conversation. #MindsNeedMovement #mentalhealth
