Answer to Question #128140 in Psychology for Khanh Ngoc Nguyen

Question

Given the purported relationship between our emotional health and the physical health of our cardiovascular system, what types of things (aside from diet and exercise) might you consider doing differently in your life to help promote better emotional and physical health?

Answer 1

Physical exercise improves oxygen circulation in blood and lowers the risk of heart diseases. A healthy diet and physical exercise control an individual’s body weight. They also help to manage blood sugar level and insulin. During physical exercise, the body releases chemicals that improve mental health and mood, which are vital for managing stress and reducing the risk of depression.
