Depression is Real!

Depression is a serious health challenge.  I have learned from personal experience multiple causes for it.  I will not deny that many of the reasons for depression are out of your control mentally, however I must extend that there a multitude things that can aid in the means of controlling it…

Please read more in detail of one way in particular to assist one with depression.

Some of the reasons why exercise may be an effective way to combat depression:
Releases “feel-good” brain chemicals (neurotransmitters, endorphins and endocannabinoids)
Reduces immune-system chemicals that have been implicated in depression
Increases body temperature, which may provide a sense of calm, reducing anxiety
Helps you deal with your depression in a healthy, productive way
Boosts self-confidence, which can make you feel better about yourself
May provide for more social interaction, improving your mood

If you’re feeling depressed, take it seriously. Talk to your doctor about how you’re feeling. But before they prescribe an anti-depressant, which is the common medical strategy whenever someone says they’re depressed today, questions them about natural treatment alternatives, including exercise.
