The relationship between physical and mental health is stronger than most people realize. When one suffers, the other often follows.

How Physical Health Affects Mental Well-being
Regular exercise releases endorphins, natural mood boosters that can reduce anxiety and depression. A nutritious diet provides the brain with essential nutrients for optimal function.

How Mental Health Impacts Physical Health
Chronic stress and anxiety can lead to:
- Weakened immune system
- Increased inflammation
- Higher risk of heart disease
- Sleep disorders

Tips for Holistic Health
1. Exercise regularly - even a 15-minute walk helps
2. Practice mindfulness or meditation
3. Maintain social connections
4. Seek professional help when needed
5. Prioritize sleep
