Lockdown Blues? Doctors say "take a hike!"

from Mark and Pete Hosted by Successful Minds

MARK AND PETE LIVE. Doctors say that going for a good walk is an effective way to combat the stresses surrounding Covid-19, and it doesn't have to cost the earth to reap the benefits. As studies show the impact of the Covid-19 lockdown on mental health, more people are turning to exercise to boost their spirits. Physical activity is well known to benefit the body by keeping you strong, reducing the risk of certain diseases and helping maintain a healthy weight. In recent months, many people were forced to spend long periods of time at home due to the coronavirus pandemic and exercise has become a cathartic way of tackling stress and beating boredom. Numerous studies conducted since March, when lockdown increasingly came into force worldwide, have shown the toll of Covid-19 on our mental health. Mark and Pete look at this prescription for mental health: get well, take a hike! Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/mark-and-pete--1245374/support.
