Having a bad day? Feeling down or maybe just not in the best mood? Maybe you’re just a little tired and feeling low, but can’t get a nap. There is something you can do that is better than that energy drink. Move. Seriously, get up and move, dance, walk, or run, but move.
Recent University studies have shown that movement can improve your mood. In fact several of these studies have shown improvement in the outlook of patients diagnosed with severe mental illness such as depression, bi polar disorder and schizophrenia. At Indiana University, a study found that any physical activity throughout the day has a link to improvement in mood. This study found that low to moderate activity was adequate to improve the mood of patients with serious mental illness.
