How Does Exercise Affect The Brain
“To enjoy the glow of good health, you must exercise.” We all know exercising has so many benefits. From our body to our mind it nurtures every part of us. That is why since childhood we keep listening the importance of exercising and why one should do it. But now we have changed our priorities and maybe exercising daily is not even in the list of our priorities.
However, the pandemic across the globe has made us realized why one should always keep their health first. Many people suffered from mental health issues because of the stress and anxiety the pandemic brought but people who were exercising daily were able to keep their body and mind balanced and could convert their negative thoughts into positive.
If the pandemic was also not enough for you to get the encouragement to exercise daily, here is a list of benefits for you to get the motivation to work out daily.

3. Higher self-esteem
