This can help improve mental clarity and productivity.5.Social Interaction: Many forms of exercise, such as group sports orfitness classes, offer opportunities for social interaction. This can provide emotional support and reduce feelings of isolation.6.Self-Esteem Boost: Engaging in regular exercise can lead to improvements in body image and self-esteem, which can have a positive impact on mental health.Questions:1、What is the main idea of the second paragraph?A.
