Studies show that exercise is good for us both physically and mentally. It is claimed that the right amount of exercise and a good diet can increase our life expectancy, meaning we will live longer.

Exercise doesn't have to be extreme like body building or competitive sports, it can be as simple as walking regularly instead of always using a car or taking the bus.

Technology has become a large part of peoples recreational time e.g computers, play stations, x box and mobile phones. People are less likely to be active in their spare time which is why its important to make sure we do get some exercise every day, 30 minutes is the recommended amount

What is mental well-being?
If you have good mental well-being you are able to:

Feel relatively confident in yourself- you value and accept yourself and judge yourself on realistic and reasonable standards

Feel and express a range of emotions

Feel engaged with the world around you – you can build and maintain positive relationships with other people and feel you can contribute to the community you live in

Live and work productively

Cope with stresses of daily life and manage times  of change and uncertainty

Stress

Everyone suffers from stress at some point in their life and some people are naturally more prone to stress than others.

Stress can have a negative effect on both physical and mental health leading to serious long term conditions. Our emotions are also effected by poor physical and mental health which in turn can lead us to react badly in certain situations and feel unable to cope.
