WALK AWAY FROM DEPRESSION?

Depression is not a unique mental disorder. Rather, it’s a complex biologic-ecologic disease. Requiring physical attention as well. Read on to learn about details, based on comprehensive international research.

​

THE PHILOSOPHY BEHIND
​

Mankind is a complex physical/mental phenomenon. This implies that our health depends on both – body and mind. In terms of wellbeing. Unfortunately yet, both – body and mind – can well turn out negative, with a disease.
 
From this point of view, depression is a leading mental health issue. Demonstrated by symptoms such as the feelings of being sad, empty and lacking the feeling of pleasure.
 
Affecting more than 20 million (i.e. 8%-plus) U.S. adults. Conventionally treated in medical terms usually with antidepressive drugs and psychotherapy – in most cases in combination. Although without a cure.

 

NATURAL ANSWERS – SCIENTIFICALLY VERIFIDED
 

​As we know from a meta-analysis at the University of Newcastle in Callaghan, Australia, approximately a decade ago, based on more than 20 studies, that a type of Mediterranean diet including
- fruits
- vegetables
- whole grain
- fish
may well cut down the risk of depression.
 
Even more.
 
As we learn from international research, inter alia, in the UK at

- University of Cambridge in Cambridge
   &
- University of Edinburgh in Edinburgh
   as well as
- Queen’s University of Belfast in Belfast, Northern Ireland
    &

- University of Sydney in Sydney, Australia, 
   &
- University of Santa Maria in Santa Maria, Brazil that also exercise may relieve depression.
 
that also exercise may relieve depression.
 

Scientifically verified:
 
According to research at

- University of Limerick in Limerick
   &
- Trinity College Dublin in Dublin
   (both Ireland)
 as well as

- Curtin University in Perth, Australia  

​
20 minutes daily of brisk walk 5 times a week may well relieve depression successfully.
 

Leaves us with the question about the positive cause behind physical exercise with respect to depression.
 
As we know now from research at, inter alia,


- University of Nebraska Medical Center
- Creighton University
   &
- Oma ha VA Medical Center
   (all 3 in Omaha, Nebraska)
 
physical exercise


  • increases blood flow to the brain
           with body’s natural pain & stress relievers
           thus influencing motivation & mood
           &
  • decreases reactivity to stress
 

IN A NUTSHELL
 

Unlike manifold assumptions, depression is not just a unique mental disorder. Rather, it’s a complex biologic-ecologic disease. Requiring physical attention as well, based on comprehensive international research.
