Exercise has been proven to reduce psychological burden ~ Remember these 4 principles to get rid of depression

The results of a cross-sectional study of more than one million people were published in The Lancet Psychiatry, which showed that "exercise can help reduce psychological burden." Although excessive exercise does not necessarily help to have a better mental state, researchers have found that ✨exercise 3-5 times a week, 45 minutes each time✨, is best for improving mental state.

👉There are hundreds of benefits of exercise

Overall, the results showed that people who exercised had 1.49 fewer days of poor mental health per month than those who didn't exercise.

All types of exercise can effectively reduce psychological burden, reducing the time of poor mental state by at least 11.8% and at most 22.3%.

The researchers found that the most effective were team sports (reduced by 22.3%), outdoor cycling (reduced by 21.6%), and aerobic and gym training (reduced by 20.1%). The optimal exercise frequency is 3-5 times a week, 45 minutes each time.

👉It’s time to do housework!

Another interesting finding from the study is that even doing housework can reduce the time spent in a bad mental state by 0.4 days per month.

👉It is important to cultivate your character!

A subsequent analysis of the study found that people who practiced positive spiritual exercises were also able to reduce their negative mental states compared to those who did no exercise.

👉No need for excessive exercise!

A previous article by Fei Chuang mentioned that excessive training leading to increased cortisol is not beneficial for training.

Now this article also says that exercise should not be excessive! Exercising for more than 6 hours a week may lead to poor mental state.
