Do you need a caffeine kick to perk up your day? Or do you resort to a beverage to wind down in the evening? In today’s fast-paced society, these are common ways of dealing with fatigue and stress, but did you know that there is much better solution?

Introducing the wonder drug, also known as exercise. Research has found that just a single 30-minute bout of exercise has numerous benefits on mood and mental performance.

– Exercisers feel more energised, joyful, and alert

– Exercisers feel less tense, depressed, and angry

Exercise leads to short-term improvements in brain function including attention, working memory, problem solving, and decision making.

It is becoming increasingly difficult to squeeze an exercise regime into our hectic schedules. For those of you who struggle to prioritise exercise, it is important to remember that a one-off bout of exercise is better than nothing. There are many ways to adjust your lifestyle which will help you get your daily dose.
