Topic - Prevent depression with an hour a week
A very extensive study of depression revealed that this misery could have been prevented with only an hour of exercise a week. For decades, it’s been known that even a little exercise can reduce the symptoms, but now we know that depression can be prevented! Scientists say they don’t know why one hour is the magic number, but it is! Maybe it’s because the mental health benefits are realized within the first hour of activity. What happened to the people who participated in the study who didn’t exercise at all? They showed a 44% increase in depression over those who exercised just an hour or two. If you have a family history of depression, you might want to start thinking about a basic, one hour a week exercise regimen. Remember that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure!
