Exercise May Reduce Anxiety Symptoms, Boost Emotional Resilience

Physical activity has long been associated with managing various mental health conditions, including anxiety disorders.

Lesser known is whether individuals with higher levels of physical fitness experience fewer anxiety symptoms and stressful emotions.

A recent study published in Acta Psychologica investigated whether higher cardiorespiratory fitness may be associated with lower levels of anxiety and anger. The researchers examined whether people with different fitness levels exhibit distinct emotional responses to unpleasant visual stimuli.

“These findings make a lot of sense to me. I consistently recommend regular exercise to my patients and believe that regular physical activity is an important piece of strong emotional health,” Nissa Keyashian , MD, board certified psychiatrist and author of “ Practicing Stillness ,” who was not involved in the study, told Healthline.

The study involved 40 healthy individuals between the ages of 18 and 40. The participants were divided into two groups: above-average (AA) and below-average (BA) fitness levels.

Both groups felt more tense after looking at the upsetting images. However, the AA group started with overall lower levels of anger and anxiety in their daily lives, and stayed calmer. The BA group showed a 775% greater risk of seeing their anxiety levels increase from moderate to high.

Anupam Mittal Demands Payment From Shark Tank India 5 Pitcher To Work Together: ‘Aapko Jhelne Ke...

Shark Tank India is currently in the midst of its fifth season and in the latest episode, the judges met with a plant-based meat company based out of Faridabad. Simarjeet Singh and Rupinder Singh presented their products from Mister Veg which are completely made of soya, which they presented as vegetarian versions of different non-veg delicacies. They sought Rs 2 crore in exchange for 2.5 percent of their company, thus valuing it at Rs 80 crore.

When they started speaking about their business, the pitchers revealed that Jubilant FoodWorks had 38 percent in their business, which they bought in 2021 at Rs 4.25 crore. Jubilant FoodWorks is the company behind Domino's Pizza in India. Aman was quick to get out of the negotiations as he insisted that this industry was on a decline. Ritesh, Namita and Amit said the same thing and got out. Anupam said that they already had a strategic investor in the business and did not understand what role the pitchers wanted the sharks to play in their business. As he also got out, Simrajeet tried to convince him again. As they spoke over each other, Anupam refused to listen to him.

To this, Anupam said that he would be willing to take part in the business, but only on one condition ⁘ if he gets paid by the pitchers. “I am out but if you want me to join your business, I can do it but you will have to pay me for that,” he said and added with a laugh, “Aapko jhelne ke liye. Main paise ke bina yeh kaam nahi karunga. (To work with you. I won't do that unless you pay me.) I love you but I have to leave you.”

India's World Cup journey has been challenging with their batting struggling to find form. Despite this, their depth and deceptive strategies have kept them undefeated. Facing South Africa, known for their strong bowling attack, will be a true test. The pressure to perform at home and the burden of expectation make it even more difficult for India to defend their title.
