Physical And Mental Benefits Of Exercise

In their book Your Vitality Quotient, Richard Earle and David Imrie say that the benefits from exercise are both physical as well as mental. "People who exercise regularly tend to sleep better, and use less sugar, caffeine, alcohol, nicotine, and other drugs. Above all, exercise makes you feel good about yourself. For most people, exercise is one of the most obvious self-respecting behaviors. Each time you jog, visit the gym, or play a game of squash, you are building your positive self-image -- a physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual foundation for your growing self-esteem."
