The Best Antidepressant

The Best Antidepressant 

 What could be the best antidepressant for a person? In my view, physical exercise is the best antidepressant for a person. So, now the question is, how physical exercise is the best antidepressant? 

Physical exercise is something which refers to some activity in our body to maintain our physical fitness. It is the regular movement of the different parts of our body according to proper rules, it ensures our sound health with a sound mind. Personally when I exercise for an hour or two it relieves all of my anxiety and stress. 


Exercise is one of the most effective ways to deal with and handle anxiety and stress. The stress of exercise actually helps your brain release endorphins, which serve as natural painkillers. Consistent exercise, whether it’s every day or three times a week, encourages your brain to regularly release endorphins which can help improve your mood.

Working out helps your body lower stress hormones like cortisol. To sum it up, the release of endorphins combined with the reduction of stress hormones helps you feel calm and in control of your life, thanks to exercise. Below are different forms of exercise that will help you curb your stress and anxiety

Now, there are different types of physical exercise. Among these exercises you can choose one of the exercises to lead an anxiety and stress free life. They are strength exercise, aerobic exercise, balance exercise, et cetera. 


Strength Exercise

A

Strength exercise works in our muscle, some of the strength exercise could be weight lifting, push-ups, crunches. This exercise can enhance your quality of life and improve the ability to do everyday activities. It can protect your joints from injury and helps you to build muscles. 





Aerobic Exercise



B

Aerobic exercises work in our cardiovascular system, for example running, swimming, and dancing. No matter your age, weight or athletic ability, aerobic activity is good for you. Aerobic activity has many health benefits. Aerobic exercise may ease the gloominess of depression, reduce the tension associated with anxiety and promote relaxation.






Balance Exercise
                                         C

Balance exercises are especially important for older people who have weak muscles. When older individuals perform these exercises regularly, they can keep their mind diverted from unnecessary overthinking and strengthen their muscles to avoid falls and injuries. Also, with older people, injuries take time to heal, and recovery is much slower. Hence, strengthening the core, lower back, and leg muscles can help maintain the right balance.




The global prevalence of anxiety and stress increased by 25% in the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic. Anxiety and stress is an inevitable part of your life. It’s impossible to eliminate, but you can learn to manage anxiety and stress, and one of the ways to manage your anxiety and stress is to be engaged with physical exercises. There different types of physical exercises for different ages of people. So, if you are under 18 or more than 60, you do not need to worry, all you have to do is conduct a fitness consultation and get yourself some appropriate exercises. 

I can not finish stating the benefits of physical exercise. It helps us to remain active both mentally and physically. Physical exercise is not something which is mandatory for you, but if you want to take the best antidepressant for free of cost then you should start working out today.
