Benefits of Physical Activity
Immediate benefits
Some benefits of physical activity for brain health happen right after a session of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity.
Benefits include improved thinking or cognition for children 6 to 13 and reduced short-term feelings of anxiety for adults. Regular physical activity can help keep your thinking, learning, and judgment skills sharp as you age.
It can also reduce your risk of depression and anxiety and help you sleep better.
Manage your weight
Both eating patterns and physical activity routines play critical roles in weight management.
You can gain weight when you consume more calories than the amount of calories you burn.
To maintain your weight
If you are not physically active, work your way up to 150 minutes a week of moderate-intensity physical activity.
