Exercise your anxiety away

 

I've known this for years, but science now confirms that exercise (especially exercise conducted hard and fast) relieves anxiety better than any kind of drug.

Physical exercise reduces chronic anxiety better than drugs


"The researchers found that the more intense the training sessions were, the more they lowered participants’ anxiety levels. “There was a significant intensity trend for improvement – that is, the more intensely they exercised, the more their anxiety symptoms improved,” explained study lead author Malin Henriksson, a doctoral student at the University of Gothenburg."
