The Connection of Mental and Physical Health

One of the reasons I love committing my life to fitness and nutrition is the mental and physical health benefits. Being part of the Beachbody team can be a super rewarding path physically, mentally, emotionally, and financially. It’s pretty clear how exercise and nutrition can affect physical health, but they also have an impact on mental health. Mental health is important for the ability to enjoy life, and establish and maintain meaningful relationships with people around you. Commit to exercise and nutrition, and you can benefit your mental and physical health as a result!

Mental and Physical Health Through Exercise and Nutrition

Exercise
Endorphins. When you exercise, your body releases endorphins, a natural chemical that causes the body to feel good. These endorphins improve your mood and produce positive mental and physical health.

Strength. Your heart, lungs, and muscles are strengthened with exercise. The result is increased energy as you continue to get physically stronger. With more energy, you are more equipped to enjoy life and the mental and physical health benefits as a result.

Relief. One of the greatest ways to relieve stress and anxiety is through a good workout. If you are ever feeling sad, depressed, or angry, try pushing yourself in fitness to work off the stress.

Team. When you have a team like Beachbody, mental and physical health can be improved. Not only are you getting all the great benefits of exercise, but you also have the support of an entire team. They are there to comfort you, encourage you, and push you when you need it.

Nutrition

Energy. When you eat the right types of food, you build sustained energy throughout your day. When you have more energy, you can complete tasks with ease and positivity.

Clear mind. A balanced diet prevents mood swings that are caused by an excessive amount of sugar and caffeine. Without mood swings, your mind is clearer to operate without being clouded by irrational thoughts.

Health. When you are committed to foods with nutritional value, you are less likely to get sick. Your physical and mental health can be much improved without the strain of frequent sickness.

Mental and physical health are truly related! Improving your physical health can have a positive impact on your mental health. I’m so blessed to be able to commit my personal and professional life to physical and nutritional health, and I’d love to help you do the same!
