Down in the dumps, angry or anxious?
A workout can help people work off negative emotions like fear and depression.
If you know someone who is depressed or anxious, you can help by inviting him or her for an invigorating walk, jog or bike ride.
According to an analysis of dozens of studies related to physical activity and mental health, exercise can significantly decrease levels of anxiety and depression.
That goes for women with postpartum depression too.
If you’re not seeing the results you want from therapy or medication, try adding some exercise to the mix.
Twenty minutes of moderate to vigorous activity is generally enough to start seeing some relief.
