relieve

themselves from daily stress.

essay will discuss the benefits of physical as well as mental activities.

Lastly

this

also

present how, and when both activities are done in combination, it can have long-lasting effects on one's

First

and foremost, physical activities

such

as walking, running, or lifting weight can significantly decrease your stress levels as it will release a particular chemical in the body

that is

directly related to stress hormones.

Moreover

, regular exercise will alleviate long term

health

issues. According to the recent study,

any

quantifier; used with either mass nouns or plural count nouns to indicate an unspecified number or quantity

some

thirty minutes of physical activity as it will mitigate heart problems.

, even if it is mere walking, outdoor activity can decrease your chance of being overly stressed and getting a heart attack.

Although

physical activities have their perks, doing mental exercise has several benefits, too.

Firstly

, the human brain is like a muscle.

For instance

, when you start doing mental activities

such

as reading, solving math problems, or learning a new language, the brain will generate new ideas, enhance creativity, and, more importantly, make you think outside of the box.

Secondly

, not doing mental activities can severely cause dementia, a part of mental illness that has critical

health

consequences for older people. All in all, I believe that combining mental activities with physical activities can have long-lasting

health

benefits, reducing your chances of having a mental illness and heart problems, respectively.
