Hi friends,today i,ll try to explain the positive effects of exercise on overcoming depression.Depression is perhaps one of the most common problems of the present day society.
There are many sorts of therapies for depression.
But simple exercises like walking,jogging can have a beneficial effect on depression.It alters the level of numerous chemical neurotransmitters in different areas of the brain, thus having a beneficial effect on depression.The altered neurotransmitters are epinephrine,brain derived neurotrophic factor[BDNF]etc,to name a few.
It also alters the activity of parasympathetic system & sympathetic system thus helping in overcoming depression.
Nothing much is required,simple walking,jogging for half an hour or so,will do.My view is Exercise should have an adjunctive role in the treatment of depression along with anti-depressant drugs & other forms of therapy.
Please discuss this issue with your doctor.For further information please visit the MSN health & fitness sitehere
