   Fitness is considered a key tool for the improvement and prevention of health. According to science, having good physical health contributes to good mental health, since exercising the body improves the flow of oxygen to the brain, as well as the production of chemicals that help us feel better, such as endorphins and adrenaline.

   In addition, physical exercise also has benefits for mental health at a cognitive level, as it favors abilities such as memory, orientation, balance or coordination, and even helps delay the onset of some diseases such as Alzheimer's or Parkinson's, being also beneficial for people with certain psychological problems such as depression. anxiety disorders, insomnia or even cognitive impairment.

   For these reasons, after the pandemic, the most important organizations in the world of fitness have begun to give a fundamental role to mental health. At IIDCA, we have emphasized unconditional support for all types of holistic therapies as well.  According to a recent study, some of the types of sport that are most advantageous for mental health are those that involve teamwork, aerobic exercise or gym exercise, achieving feedback and balance between body and mind. It is vital to perform 30 to 60 minutes in a period of 3 to 5 times per week.
