18% of the population will experience clinical depression at least once in their lives.
According to WHO, depression is expected to become one of the top causes of disability worldwide by 2020.
Depression can be addressed, without the need for potentially dangerous drugs, through regular exercise.
How Exercise Counters Depression
- Promotes release of endorphins and other mood-enhancing neurotransmitters
- Reduces levels of stress hormones
- Eases tension in the muscles
- Gives you a distraction from worries
- Improves your sleep
- Allow you to develop a sense of control in your life
- Boosts self-esteem and self-worth
Studies show exercise is as effective as antidepressants for moderate depression, without potential side effects.
