For many of us who work out regularly, depression is something we never experience. \u00a0 Maybe an off day here and there, but nothing lasting. \u00a0 To others, depression is a serious and debilitating condition that needs medical attention. \u00a0 For others a routine of regular exercise will work wonders. \u00a0 Here is an article from Howtobefit.com<\/a> for those who fall into that last category.<\/p>\n

It just kind of sets \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t in one day. You don’t really want to get out of bed. Then, food doesn’t taste \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t as good as it usually does or maybe you feel like eating more than usual. \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t Nothing makes you happy. You don’t really want to talk to anyone, even your \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t friends.<\/p>\n

Every year, 19 \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t million American adults deal with depression, and it’s not surprising. Given \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t how much more complex and frustrating the world gets every day, coping can be \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t tough.<\/p>\n

Of course, if it \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t gets really bad, you’re going to want to talk to your doctor. Medication and \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t psychiatric treatment may be the best options, but for little cases of the \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t blues, a sweaty workout and a big salad may be better answers than Xanax and a \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t shrink’s couch. In fact, even in some serious cases of clinical depression, \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t healthy diet and regular exercise play a major role in recovery.<\/p>\n

In a study appearing \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t in the January 2005 issue of the American Journal of Preventive \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t Medicine<\/em>, researchers from the University of Texas Southwestern Medical \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t Center learned that 30 minutes of moderate aerobic exercise, three to five \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t times a week, halved mild to moderate depression symptoms. The results rivaled \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t other commonly used therapies such as cognitive behavior therapy and use of the \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t antidepressant Tofranil.<\/p>\n
