Exercise + Meditation = Less Depression
This study was the first to combine meditation and exercise to address depression.My take? These study results are welcome news. I have long recommended physical activity as the most reliable method for immediate, symptomatic treatment of depression. Numerous studies have demonstrated the efficacy of a daily workout for improving emotional health and boosting self-confidence. I recommend 30 minutes of continuous activity, at least five days a week for best results. I’m also a strong advocate of meditation, as well asbreathing exercises, as part of an integrative approach to addressing mild to moderate depression.
