@CBCOlympics Congrats to Mo, but @cbcsports why isn’t the top Canadian woman @tasha_wodak mentioned in the main headline in the and why does she only get one short sentence and no video in the article? @CamLevins name also needs an s in the headline.

Over 1,000 randomized controlled trials: physical activity boosts emotional well-being for people with & without clinical symptoms.

It's not a panacea or a substitute for other treatments, but physical fitness is good for mental fitness.
