Does exercise really improve mental health?

[[link removed]}&lead=419599&emailid=212272&nl=daily
often points to exercise as a good way to boost mental health, but a
recent study from the University of Georgia suggests that it's not
just physical movement that affects mental health. It's how, where and
why you exercise that makes the difference.

some people, one of the more challenging, traits some young workers

On a recent weekday, I sent an Instagram message to a friend of mine,
an art adviser in New York named Stephen Truax, to gossip about an
exhibition. Instead of messaging me back in the app, he texted me to
say that he'd blocked Instagram on his smartphone during daytime
working hours. Impressed, I asked him how he was accomplishing such a
feat. Truax said he was using Opal, an app that makes your smartphone
a little more like a so-called dumbphone, without requiring you to
trade in your device altogether. He said that several of his friends
swore by the app, and so he had begun using it, too. Opal is not new -
its current iteration launched in 2022 - but I took this word of mouth
as evidence, outside of the app-hype cycle, that it might actually
work. I downloaded it without any particular optimism; I considered my
phone addiction to be an incurable case.

A key governing partner of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu

leaving over disagreements surrounding a proposed law meant to grant
wide military draft exemptions to its constituents. A second
ultra-Orthodox party quit earlier this week over the same issue. Shas
said it wouldn't work to undermine the coalition once outside it and
could vote with it on some laws. It also wouldn't support its
collapse. The political turmoil comes as Israel and Hamas are
negotiating terms for a ceasefire for the war in Gaza.
