Combining mindfulness with exercise boosts mental health: Study
If your new year resolution is to be fitter, focusing on just physical activity might not be the way forward. A new study shows that combining mindfulness with exercise is key for optimal health. “Mindfulness is an approach that can help us ‘train up’ the psychological strengths we need to exercise and be more in tune with our bodies, as well as make exercising more interesting and help us recognise its benefits,” study author Masha Remskar said in the statement. Hence, engaging in mindfulness such as meditating regularly along with regularly exercising could work together to build resilience to challenges and improve health in the new year. For instance, a study published in the journal JAMA Network Open in November showed that practising mindfulness focused on healthy eating can be good for the heart.
