Mental Health
To enjoy physical health, you need to take care of diet and exercise.
To enjoy mental health, you really, truly need to practice the dharma.
Buddha: "Bhikkhus, there are these two kinds of illness. Which two? Bodily illness and mental illness. People are found who can claim to enjoy bodily health for one, two, three, four, and five years; for ten, twenty, thirty, forty, and fifty years; and even for a hundred years and more. But apart from those whose taints have been destroyed, it is hard to find people in the world who can claim to enjoy mental health even for a moment." - Roga Sutta

Physical health also affect mental health I would say hehe.
Before
I have the condition for the dharma, physical exercise and diet and
sleep was what carried me through a highly stressful school and job.
Even during dark nights too!

Yin Ling Yes v important
Also, someone I know who suffered from anxiety told me that daily exercising really helped to alleviate the problem.
Have to jog 30 mins at least

Haha yea agree. I have a lot of anxiety also last time.
I use running to solve. About 30 mins the endorphins will come out and feel better 
if run long there’s a samadhi which is very blissful so I used to run marathons
Weight training doesn’t seem to have this blissful ness
