Mental Health
Mental Health is Important.
Physical and mental health are linked together. Maintaining a certain level of physical activity and trying to be fit, has been shown to influence mental well-being in a positive way.
Even 10 minutes of brisk walking can increase mental alertness, energy and give a positive mood.
Your mental health can influence your physical health, both in a positve and negative way. Patients often report that problems with their physical health has affected their ability to do the things they have previously enjoyed, which can leave them feeling low in mood. The bottom line is that physical and mental health are equally important.
