Exercise can cure depression.

People eat whole grains, "things are often unsatisfactory." Some people are introverted, have little interpersonal communication, encounter unsatisfactory things, get stuck in their hearts, get lost in thought and feel depressed. The author also has this situation. When I encounter depression, I moderately increase physical exercise, and the depression will soon be swept away. Rainy weather and hot and humid climate can also make people feel bored. At this time, I will drop my chores and take part in the mass jogging in the park. Sometimes, I will temporarily put down my troubles and climb the Maofeng Mountain in Huishan ... Strange to say, at this time, my mood will suddenly open up, as if I were a different person, and my mental state will become very "cool". One of the reasons is that the rhythm of exercise drives away depression. Everyone has an active nature, and life is always controlled by heartbeat and breathing. When exercising, people's cheerful rhythm is mobilized, and soon there will be positive thinking of "the sky is wide and the sea is wide, and the fish jumps" and "I am ok, I can overcome depression". Secondly, exercise can shift the focus of mood. Regular activities, limbs will promote the secretion of endorphins and other beneficial substances in the body, just like a baby sleeping in a cradle, the rhythm of mother's shaking will quickly transfer the child's irritability. Third, the pleasure of sports rhythm has its relative advantage space. In life, we will also find that athletes are always carefree when they are exercising, and they will never frown and be full of worries like poets. In ancient Tibet, there was a farmer named Aidiba. Every time he gets angry with someone, he runs around his house three times at a high speed, and then sits on the edge of the ridge and breathes. His grandson asked him, Grandpa, why did you run away when you were angry? He finally told the secret in his heart: I thought as I ran, I didn't have time to be angry with him because my land was so small. I want to work hard, and I get angry when I think about it. Doesn't this story prove that exercise can drive away depression? The long summer has passed, which means that summer is coming. Clearing away heat and relieving summer heat has naturally become a top priority, but at the same time, according to the theory of TCM health preservation, we should eat the right things to avoid hurting the spleen and lungs. Sun Simiao, the "King of Medicine" in the Tang Dynasty, once linked diet with the change of seasons, and changed "three meals a day" into a way to keep fit according to the different seasons and the nutritional needs of the body. He put forward in "Thousands of Women": "On the 72nd day of summer, save labor and increase labor to nourish lung qi". Saving bitterness and increasing spiciness means eating less bitterness and adding more spiciness. According to the theory of five elements of Chinese medicine, heart fire is in season in summer. Although bitter food has the functions of clearing away heat and purging fire, relieving asthma and purging diarrhea, it will help the heart control lung qi, so it is not recommended to eat more in summer to avoid excessive heart fire. Because heart fire can suppress lung gold, and pungent taste belongs to lung meridian, in summer, despite the hot weather, people can still eat more pungent things, such as spicy radish, onion, ginger, garlic and so on. It has the functions of dispersing stagnation, promoting qi circulation, promoting blood circulation, inducing resuscitation and eliminating dampness, and can replenish lung qi, especially for people with lung qi deficiency. However, although the ancient books are correct, they need to be adjusted according to the actual situation. Nowadays, Hunan cuisine, Sichuan cuisine and other spicy foods are popular all over the country, and people's level of eating spicy food is also constantly improving. Too much emphasis on "embellishing" may go too far. Theoretically speaking, the pungent taste of pepper belongs to one of the pungent tastes of traditional Chinese medicine, and it is not suitable for overeating; Onions, garlic or other spicy dishes are mild, so you can eat more appropriately. Only in this way can we really achieve the effect of nourishing lung qi. Exercise can cure depression. Can running cure depression? One of the biggest manifestations of depression is poor sleep, staying up all night at night, or waking up early in the morning. Moderate running can help people release stress and improve sleep, especially long-distance jogging. Whether you want to lose weight or exercise by running, whether you are used to running early or late, the hardest thing is to stick to it. Once you persist, you can strengthen people's will and resist depression. Run 5 kilometers down, and you will choose to run 10 kilometers. When you reach your goal, people will become more confident. Your steps are under your control, and so is your life. At the same time, running can also overcome the sense of loneliness, help to relieve tension and gradually improve self-confidence. A taboo to pay attention to depression: the treatment measures for depression that rely solely on drugs should be comprehensive, including the interaction of life, psychology and drugs. Patients can't simply rely on drugs and ignore the adjustment of life and psychology. Regularly live, work and rest on time, eat, arrange sports and entertainment time, and avoid staying at home all day to "close" yourself. Adjusting the mentality and making life full of interest not only enhances the confidence of treating diseases but also improves the quality of life. Two taboos: lack of patience. Clinical data show that mild depression can obviously improve symptoms such as depression and fatigue in about 2 weeks after scientific and reasonable treatment, and sleep and appetite have also improved, but it does not mean that it is basically "good". This is only a preliminary treatment result. Don't stop taking medicine at this time, otherwise it will lead to recurrence or gradual aggravation of the disease and increase the difficulty of treatment in the future. Random withdrawal of drugs may also cause withdrawal syndrome, increase the pain of patients, and is even more detrimental to health. Experts pointed out that the treatment of mild depression should also persist for more than one year. Therefore, patients should maintain a steady state of mind, neither too pessimistic nor blindly optimistic, treat the treatment effect correctly, and have the confidence and patience to adhere to long-term scientific and reasonable treatment. Three bogeys: worry too much about antidepressants. In the subconscious of ordinary people, all drugs for treating mental illness have great side effects, and excessive use will "damage the brain." Therefore, some elderly people are also worried about the use of antidepressants, and think that mild depression is best not to use drugs, and it is best to use drugs occasionally, not to use them more, and not to use them for a long time. This is a misunderstanding. Elderly patients should keep close contact with doctors, use antidepressants rationally under the guidance of doctors, and insist on adequate courses of treatment.
