If there is one sure way to augment ones mood and happiness, then physical exercise has it all. 30 minutes of moderate to high intensity aerobic exercise like brisk
walking, jogging, cycling and swimming have been associated with a wide
spectrum of health benefits like high physical fitness level, better mood
and stress coping mechanism, increased cognitive and inhibitory control
of behavior.
Improved health status has been an area of growing interest and
having positive mind, being physically fit and even better mood state
are good working grounds. Sustained physical activity has been linked
with secretion of beta endorphin which has been found to augment
individual's mood and enhance a sustained feeling of happiness. The amount of beta endorphin produced during and
after exercise is also intensity depended with moderate intensity
exercise like jogging has been found to produce more beta endorphin than high intensity
exercises.
The interesting thing with exercise and endorphin enhancing an
individual mood state is that, mood improves even for the rest of the
day and directly correlates with the level of physical exercise.
