Explanation:
If I'm correct, mental health and physical health go hand in hand, if you are healthy mentally. Meaning, you're happy, not depressed and know how to take care of yourself mentally you are more likely to be health physically because you will have more motivation to keep yourself healthy, this also helps with self-esteem due to the fact, being mentally healthy means you have a good balance of self-esteem because you will understand mentally that a healthy balance of self-esteem will make your mind naturally want to be healthy physically and be mentally healthy as well. I hope this makes sense, if not tell me and I will simplify or explain a little better.
Teens’ use of most illegal drugs is down—way down—except for marijuana (which is the most common drug taken in the US by teens), which is staying about the same. However, teens are vaping more often than before, and their use of inhalants has increased slightly.
Those are some of the findings from the latest Monitoring the Future survey. More than 43,700 students in 8th, 10th, and 12th grades (from 360 schools across the United States) took the survey in 2017. Here are some of the things we learned from them.
The good news is overall, teens’ use of illegal drugs (other than marijuana and inhalants) continues to decrease. It’s now the lowest in the history of the survey in all three grades. That’s excellent!
- Exercise releases endorphins in the brain that make you feel happier, so that is going to be very helpful to your mental/emotional health!
- Exercise will make you healthier physically, it makes you stronger and it increases your lifespan! One of the biggest perks of exercise is the positive effect it has on physical health.
- Exercising can be a social activity, like going to exercise classes and playing sports in groups, and it’s always good to get social contact with other people in real life whenever you can!
- Exercise will make you look a lot more toned and fit, which will make you more confident. Confidence is very good for social interaction with others, and it’s good for your emotional health too!
- Exercise is also a good way to improve your sense of perseverance. It helps you practice the idea of refusing to give up when things get difficult, and it’ll make your stronger both mentally and physically. Having the skill of perseverance helps all aspects of your health, whether it be physical, mental/emotional, or social (since people like people that aren’t quitters/have a strong mind over matter attitude).
I hope this is helpful ^_^
