Aside from exercising the body's muscles, biking also offers mental health benefits. The activity encourages the release of serotonin, also known as the happy hormone, which sharpens the mind by boosting blood flow to the brain while decreasing stress levels and improving mood. Whether you are cruising around town in a bicycle or an e-bike, the mentally stimulating activity and the exercise it provides will promote your overall health and wellness.
Cycling's Many Health Benefits
According to research, cycling can reduce not just stress levels but also depression and anxiety. Aside from the physical exercise involved in cycling, the act of focusing on the road and the movements requires concentration. Fixing one's mind on the present can divert thoughts away from stressors and negative thoughts. Working out the mind's connection with the body and the gains one gets from the activity will also be mentally enriching compared to just sitting around all day staring at a screen.
And of course cyclists will feel better about the achievements and gains due to physical benefits such as weight management or reduction, which can also alleviate stress on the joints. Cycling can also boost the metabolism which can help with circulatory conditions and diabetes. When the body feels good, so does the mind.
