    Exercise releases endorphins which are feel good brain chemicals. Keep moving!

    Exercise does wonders for the body. Not only are endorphines released but your brain and organs get oxygenated. Exercise can also be analgesic. That much said, you do need to be careful to eat enough as you do need to eat to lose weight and you don't want to lose weight too fast as other problems develop.

    Yes, it boosts our mood and can be addictive. We are more or less grumpy because we are starving, duh, and exercise makes our life easier.
