Did you know that knitting and crochet can reduce anxiety and release serotonin?
- Precise handwork occupies the brain enough to take our minds off our anxiety.
- The rhythmic, repetitive motions of yarn crafts can also release serotonin, which is a natural analgesic and antidepressant, associated with feelings of happiness.
- Making art and expressing your creativity can help reduce cortisol levels, lowering stress and offering a host of potential health risks.
- The mental health benefits of knitting and crocheting can also improve your physical health.
