| Exercise - as little as 10 minutes of brisk walking can reduce psychological tension and enhance feelings of energy. Moderate intensity that elevates breathing and a degree of sweating occurs, is generally sufficient. More exercise, in general, seems to be better than just a little.

Exercisers who engaged in 8 to 10 hours of activity a week were even "healthier." People should do whatever form of exercise they enjoy for as long as they can manage.
