Lower Stress and Depression: Let’s Try Exercise From Dr. Peter Linn, CBC Radio Medical Advisor
Reported by Ted St. Pierre
What is being physically active?
This research is based on 190,000 people in Cambridge, England.
- Exercise is not necessarily going to a gym, but includes walking, cycling, gardening, serious house cleaning.
- Any type of exercise fuels brain cells, helps the heart pump
- Exercise helps a stronger blood flow to the brain, keeping us healthier with our thinking, staying positive, keeping stress and depression
- The more we exercise, g., walking, the stronger we stay.
How does one know if our body might need help?
- Not getting the right amount of sleep; no joy; not eating much; no bathing; not keeping in touch with family & friends anymore.
It’s springtime, we water our plants. Time to “water” our brain.
Stay strong even if we grow older every year.
