Let’s Create a Community for Change: In our blog section, we will discuss Lifestyle Changes that improve your mental health very quickly: Meaningful Movement

I’ll never ask you to slave away in the gym.

Your body was made to move. Unfortunately, it can be hard to muster up the energy to do this when you have mental health symptoms. But there are ways to move your body that will make you feel better. Every week I will provide free links to exercises for different conditions

CHAIR EXECRISE: Excellent for people with lower back pain, knee pain, poor balance, weak lower extremities. You can still work up a sweat, get your heart rate and MOST IMPORTANTLY increase your serotonin, dopamine and endorphin levels while decreasing cortisol and inflammation.

Research has shown that chair exercises help to increase muscle strength and improve flexibility. If you start with chair exercises, you can slowly work your way up to standing exercises. The study below highlights all of the benefits: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7920319/

You may ask, how do I start exercising when I feel exhausted. You may have difficulties with sleep. Waking up in the morning to exercise may seem impossible. We will discuss supplements to help with this. You may also find that when you make changes to your diet, you have more energy. However challenging this may seem, we will work on a plan together. Exercise is one of the single best things you can do for mental health. If you stick with some sort of movement program, I promise you, you feel great!
