Exercise has also been shown to improve overall quality of life in older adults. A study published in the Journal of Aging and Physical Activity found that exercise improved physical function, emotional well-being, and self-esteem in older adults. Additionally, regular exercise can reduce the risk of developing chronic health conditions such as heart disease and diabetes, which can in turn improve mental health outcomes. While exercise is not a cure-all for mental health issues, it can be a powerful tool for maintaining good mental health in older adults. As such, health care professionals should encourage their older patients to incorporate regular exercise into their routines in order to support their overall well-being.
