Exercise brings more happiness than money – study

Researchers at Yale and Oxford recently found out that exercise is more important to your mental health than your economic status.

Scientists discovered that a person who exercises daily feels bad for 35 days while inactive ones feels bad 18 days more, as per a report from Business Insider.

People may be averse to the idea at first, but it was also concluded on the study that trying out sports activities would bring stability on your mental health as an effect of socialization.

It was stated that scientists collected data about the physical behavior and mental mood of over 1.2 million Americans.

The participants are then asked to choose from 75 types of physical activity and how frequently they are unwell mentally in performing those.

Participants were also asked about their income.

The results showed that people who stay active tend to be happier.

In addition, it was stated that physically active people feel just as good as those who don’t do sports but who earn about $25,000 more a year.

So start moving now! Stay active and be happy.
