Exercise reduces stressful brain activity — which can lead to less risk of heart disease, study shows

Exercise Linked to Reduced Stress Signals in the Brain and Decreased Cardiovascular Disease Risk #

A recent study suggests that exercise not only benefits physical health but also reduces stress signals in the brain, leading to a decreased risk of cardiovascular disease. The study, which analyzed data from over 50,000 adults, found that individuals who exercise more have lower stress-related signals in the brain. The research also showed that exercise has a greater impact on reducing cardiovascular disease risks for individuals with depression. The study highlights the importance of exercise as a cost-effective tool in improving both mental and heart health.
