How it works
Increases BDNF (brain-derived neurotrophic factor), promotes neurogenesis in the hippocampus, regulates HPA axis stress response, and boosts endorphins and monoamine neurotransmitters.
Benefit requires consistency — 30 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise at least 3 times per week. Starting is the hardest part when depressed; brief walks are a valid entry point.
Getting started
This is a lifestyle-based approach. Start gradually and consult a health professional if you have any concerns about suitability for your situation.
