#activity #stress Aug will start a switch to focus on stress. So, what does activity or inactivity have to do with stress? This is a study that specifically looked at physical activity and it’s effect on individuals during the Covid-19 pandemic. Are the results surprising to you? Were you someone who benefitted by extra time and space to be active? “Thirty-one studies were included in this review. Overall, the studies suggested that higher physical activity is associated with higher well-being, quality of life as well as lower depressive symptoms, anxiety, and stress, independently of age. There was no consensus for the optimal physical activity level for mitigating negative mental symptoms, neither for the frequency nor for the type of physical activity. Women were more vulnerable to mental health changes and men were more susceptive to physical activity changes.” https://ift.tt/dxiOLG5
