What’s one of the best things you can do for your mental health? Get moving. Mental health is part of a broader health picture. While this can make  tackling a range of interrelated behaviours challenging, it also offers a chance to improve overall wellbeing through a holistic approach. Physical activity has consistently shown to help with mental health conditions. People who do a healthy amount of physical activity each week have a 50% lower rate of depression compared to those who don’t. Data from the Vitality Habit Index reveals that people with high levels of physical activity experience a 17% improvement in future psychiatric risk. What’s more, individuals who maintain 3 or more physical activity days per week gain one month of extra sleep in a year relative to individuals without this habit. Adequate sleep is essential for mental wellbeing It’s clear that increasing physical activity leads to better mental health outcomes. The increase doesn’t have to be drastic – every step you take and every move you make contributes to a healthier, more resilient mind. #LiveLifeWithVitality #MentalHealth #PhysicalActivity #HealthyHabits
