As per a CNBC article, Harvard doctor: 3 unexpected health and wellness benefits of pickleball by Renée Onque 12/3/23
Improved cognition: Certain types of exercise, including pickleball, “boost your overall level of cognition,”
Lower levels of loneliness: Loneliness is a national epidemic with damaging effects on par with smoking up to 15 cigarettes a day, according to U.S. Surgeon General Vivek Murthy. Pickleball’s collaborative nature fosters a perfect atmosphere for players to meet and connect with other people. “From the social aspect, you have much lower stress, considerably higher indices of wellbeing [and] lower loneliness indices.
More sunlight: One of the things that we as a society have underestimated is the benefit of being outdoors, and a lot of pickleball is played in the setting of existing tennis courts or other newer courts that are being specially designed for pickleball that are outdoors. Frequent sunlight exposure is wonderful for regulating your sleep cycle and can improve your quality of sleep, which can impact your mental health.
