To maintain health and reduce your risk of health problems, health professionals and researchers recommend a minimum of 30 minutes of moderate-intensity physical activity on most, preferably all, days.

A number of studies have found that exercise helps depression. There are many views as to how exercise helps people with depression:

Exercise may block negative thoughts or distract you from daily worries.

Exercising with others provides an opportunity for increased social contact.

Increased fitness may lift your mood and improve your sleep patterns.

Exercise may also change levels of chemicals in your brain, such as serotonin, endorphins and stress hormones.

If you are regularly physically active, you may:

-Reduce your risk of a heart attack.
-Manage your weight better.
-Have a lower blood cholesterol level.
-Lower the risk of type 2 diabetes and some cancers.
-Have lower blood pressure.
-Have stronger bones, muscles and joints and lower risk of developing osteoporosis.
-Lower your risk of falls.
-Recover better from periods of hospitalization or bed rest.
-Feel better – with more energy, a better mood, feel more relaxed and sleep better.

Ways to increase physical activity:

Increases in daily activity can come from small changes made throughout your day, such as walking or cycling instead of using the car, getting off a tram, train or bus a stop earlier and walking the rest of the way, or walking the children to school.
