Have you thought that exercise is only good for strong muscles, satisfying love-making, a lean body, and a strong heart? It certainly is — and that’s not all! In addition to these physical benefits, physical activity has been shown to help with being emotionally and mentally fit.

They found that 60% of the participants who exercises for 30 minutes three times a week overcame their depression without using antidepressant medication. This is the same percentage rate as for those who only used medication in their treatment for depression.
