5. You have mood swings

Take note that your mood swings may be due to a lack of movement. So, if you’re tired of dealing with your crankiness or melancholy, maybe it’s time to add some exercises into your daily routine. According to Michael W. Otto, Ph.D., professor at Boston University, “Usually within five minutes after moderate exercise you get a mood-enhancement effect.”

A study published in The Primary Care Companion attributes exercise to mood stabilization due to increased blood circulation and “an influence on the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis,” or the part of your brain that creates your physiological reaction to stress. Exercise actually helps your body stay calm and your mind react more rationally to whatever problems you’re dealing with.
