(Newswire.net — November 28, 2022) Ste 177 Winnetka, IL, IL — Various studies have highlighted the significance of taking certain proven measures to combat depression, which is an increasingly common mental health issue today.

Hourly exercise every week has been found to potentially ward off depression. This landmark study was spearheaded by Black Dog Institute and has shown that regular exercise of any intensity can prevent future depression — and just one hour can help.

Its findings were published in the American Journal of Psychiatry. 

The results reveal that even small amounts of exercise actually offer protection against depression. The mental health benefits have also been found to be noticeable regardless of age or gender. 

This largest and most extensive study of its kind involved an analysis of 33,908 Norwegian adults. For more than 11 years, their levels of exercise and symptoms of depression and anxiety were monitored. 

The global research team has revealed that 12 percent of cases of depression could have been prevented if subjects undertook just an hour of physical activity every week. 

“We’ve known for some time that exercise has a role to play in treating symptoms of depression, but this is the first time we have been able to quantify the preventative potential of physical activity in terms of reducing future levels of depression,” said lead author Associate Professor Samuel Harvey from Black Dog Institute and UNSW.

“These findings are exciting because they show that even relatively small amounts of exercise — from one hour per week — can deliver significant protection against depression.

The study findings highlight the great potential to integrate exercise into a person’s mental health plans and broader public health campaigns. Even a small increase in the amount of exercise, according to the researchers, could produce substantial physical and mental health benefits. 

Today, studies looking into the various aspects of depression continue to increase. While it is undeniably true that medications are helpful, there are also all-natural ingredients like ashwagandha found to be particularly beneficial. 

It is worth noting that in various scientific studies, the use of this herb helped lessen symptoms of anxiety and depression.
