It was Ozzy’s voice that took me away to a dark universe. A great escape. Then when The ‘Blizzard of Ozz’ record came out I was instantly a fan. Randy Rhoads was an influence on me to play lead guitar. Luckily I got to play on the song “Immortal” on the last record. Thanks for the music, Ozzy it makes our journey in life better.”

The study, which involved over 1,000 participants, found that those who engaged in regular physical activity were significantly less likely to experience symptoms of depression and anxiety.
The researchers believe that the positive effects of exercise on mental health may be due to the release of endorphins, which are known to improve mood and reduce feelings of stress and anxiety. Additionally, exercise has been found to increase levels of certain neurotransmitters in the brain, such as serotonin and dopamine, which play a key role in regulating mood.
These findings highlight the importance of incorporating exercise into our daily routines, not just for physical health, but for mental health as well. Whether it’s going for a run, taking a yoga class, or simply going for a walk, finding ways to stay active can have a profound impact on our overall well-being.
So next time you’re feeling stressed or overwhelmed, consider lacing up your sneakers and getting moving. Your mental health will thank you for it.
