FEEL GOOD FACTOR

PHYSICAL activity encourages the production of endorphins, commonly known as ‘the brain’s happy chemicals’. It’s important to find time – no matter how busy you are – to get moving.

Any activity that makes your heart beat faster, increases your breathing rate and makes you feel warmer will release endorphins.

So, whether it’s taking the kids for a kick about at the park, managing 45 minutes at the gym or simply adding in a few brisk walks to the shops, you will release enough happy chemicals to help keep stress at bay.
