Regular Exercise has been proven to reduce Anxiety

Good news for those of you still suffering from Anxiety. Regular exercise has been shown to reduce Anxiety and promote well-being.

There is now empirical evidence showing the benefits of 20 to 40 minutes of exercise 3 times a week on Anxiety. Several studies have tested whether it is effective and all  the results converge to the same conclusion, it works. Furthermore, exercise has been shown to provide the same benefits as a drug treatment (e.g., clomipramine), thus providing an alternative choice to a drug treatment.

More studies are on the way, but so far the results are very positive.
