Thanks for the tips though. I know I should be healthier, but that in itself is lack of motivation too!

That's fine

those three are my favorites to, walking is really good for you to, at least your heart health. I recommend also doing something to get moving on the weekends to keep the cycle going. Yes you should be eating bananas more than once a month

more like once a day, bananas are a rich source of potassium as well which is crucial for health. We should be eating more potassium than sodium but many people do the opposite and as a result many of us suffer from high blood pressure and heart disease. Our diets and physical health are very important factors for our mental health, often they go hand in hand. That's why so many people with injuries or chronic disease wind up depressed after a certain amount of time because they activities are limited.
The amino acid tyrosine is the precursor to dopamine, exercise increases the amount of endorphins which are a natural pain relief. Bananas are also very good for our gastrointestinal tract, I could go on and on but diet is crucial. My diet isn't perfect either but I've been slowly adjusting to eating more healthy foods even when I don't want to. Like in the mornings I really don't want to exercise, but I find that if I do it anyways the rest of my day goes much better. I have more focus and motivation to face the day, plus less aches and pains to complain about.
