Exercise and depression trial

January 18, 2008 · Filed Under VIDEO REPORTS 

Depression is the fourth most important cause of disability worldwide — and is expected to become the second most important by 2020.
Statistics suggest that as many as 1 in 3 of us might experience depressive symptoms during our lifetime and women are twice as likely to be affected as men. Depression is a major problem and treating depression a major drain on medical resources.
Now, new studies in the southwest of England are looking into different approaches to the treatment of depression — approaches that may have a significant impact on this debilitating illness.
Bringing together expertise in Psychiatry, Exercise Psychology, Health Economics and Primary Care, a collaboration of the University of Bristol, the University of Exeter and the Peninsula Medical School will conduct one of the largest studies in the world, into the use of exercise as a treatment for depression.

  • Ten Tips for Optimum Athletic Recovery

    Ten Tips for Optimum Athletic Recovery

       1. Drink water, all you care for, before during and after engaging in

       strenuous activity


       2. Eat fruit upon completion of activity to bring blood sugar back

      to normal levels and provide sugar for conversion to muscle glycogen.


       3. Consume celery and/or tomatoes to provide necessary

       sodium at least several times per week or as often as you participate

       in strenuous activity.


       4. When possible, rest after meals to foster optimum digestion.


       5. Remember, exercise does not provide energy, it requires energy.

        Sleep as much as you desire.


       6. During long duration activities, drink sports drinks of fruit blended

       with water. This works very well. For "ultra" events, add celery to the mixture.


       7. Monitor your water losses by using a scale to measure your weight before

        and after workouts.


       8. Raw foods provide the maximum nutrients for the minimal calories 


        encouraging the most rapid recovery. Gradually raise the raw percentage

        of your diet until you approach or reach 100%.


       9. Develop the habit of going to bed earlier to obtain a good night's sleep.


      10. Keep meals simple for optimum digestion, and varied to insure optimum nutrition.
