Feeling a little down, lately?
Here's one quick and effective prescription: exercise.*
According to researchers, just 10 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise can enhance your mood
and reduce symptoms associated with depression, including sadness, stress, fatigue and self-doubt.
But as with any medication, you should be aware of the potential side effects that come with
exercise:
- Improved confidence
- Improved self-esteem
- Positive coping skills
- Positive thinking
And one of the best things about exercise: It's free!
| * | Exercise is a lifetime prescription for all ages. It may safely be combined with other depression-reducing
activities. Repeat at least three times a week, or more, as needed. See your physician before
starting any exercise regimen. |
