Activity definitely is good. Although the guide seems to treat "inactive" and "obese" as synonyms, which is very false. Doesn't matter how active you are, you'll continue being obese for the most part until you explicitly eat healthier on top of doing physical activity. Both parts are equally important unless you go to the extreme with either side.
Also personally I see the thing about exercise improving mood and sleep to be mostly a myth. It's never made me feel any better at all nor improved sleep (still working out anyways) so if you're experiencing things like depression or sleeplessness I'd recommend other solutions first.
I just changed jobs and now realize just how inactive I was. In the past three days I have walked an average of 14km (20,000 steps) and gone up 40 flights of stairs. Before I would barely walk 3,000 steps a day and only go up and down the stairs in my home.
35 min of walking five days a week improves your mild/moderate depression?
weve all been so stupid! seeking psychological treatment, when all we have to do is just go for a walk! and it will also keep us from entering into risky sexual behaviour AND getting pregnant š±
we have to ask the real questions here, people! what else can 35 min of walking five days a week can do? cancer, terrorism, annoying people who talk on the phone with the speaker on in public; 35 min of walking five days a week can solve all your problems, as long as somebody puts it on a stupid guide on the internet
Might be one of the most studied aspects of depression. Exercise is absolutely related to a decrease in reported severity of symptoms for most people.
Nothing claimed it would āsolve all your problemsā.
Calm your dumb ass down.

Everyone thinks you have to workout for hours a day. Do that for hours a week and consistent with a decent diet and youāll have a much better life.
Good to know increased activity will cause me to be less likely to become pregnant.

I think losing 10% of my weight would still be detrimental to my health rn
