The habit of walking is very good. It can exercise and relieve tension, anxiety or depression. It is also very helpful to relieve the pressure of men. Male friends, dress comfortably and go out for a walk!
Potential treatment: can walking cure anxiety?
"The active substances released by physical activities can alleviate the anxiety of the brain and will not affect the normal function of the body." Professor Elizabeth Gould of Princeton University in New York said that when we walk and jog, the active neurons in the brain will be activated, which can help reduce psychological stress and anxiety and depression symptoms.
"This also tells us how the brain adjusts itself to make the best response to the environment. Its self-regulation" behavior "also provides clues for us to study how to help anxiety patients."
This discovery also solves a paradox: exercise can promote the "growth" of new active neurons and reduce anxiety, while it also accelerates your metabolism. The negative effect of anxiety and stress itself is to deplete the active neurons in the brain. After exercise, this metabolism is more "excited", so that the consumption of active substances in the brain is large, will not it lead to more serious anxiety?
However, researchers found that exercise can also enhance the body's immunity and prevent these active neurons from being over-consumed.
Correct identification of neurons and their functional areas is very important for regulating anxiety. This may help scientists better understand and treat human anxiety.
Don't walk for less than 20 minutes every day
Taking a walk often can relieve stress and make you feel better. How long is the best time to walk every day? The study found that it is better to walk for no less than 20 minutes every day.
One of the negative effects of stress is that it will deplete the body's 5-HT reserves, and 20 minutes of exercise every day will help to buffer the stress. Of course, whether you exercise on the treadmill in the house or take a brisk walk outdoors, it can help you relieve stress, but outdoor walking will be more effective.
Too much pressure can be relieved by walking
Scientists have found that the best way to relieve mood and release pressure after a busy day's work is to walk! According to a new study reported by the Daily Mail, taking a walk or jogging in a relaxed and happy mood can really calm your mood and feel relaxed by stimulating some active nerve cells in the brain.
In the study, scientists conducted experiments on mice. They first divided the experimental mice into two groups. One group of mice ran around and exercised, while the other group of mice just stayed quietly and did not exercise. Then test the changes of their brain cells.
The test results showed that the levels of 5-HT, dopamine and norepinephrine (known as natural antidepressants) in the brain of rats who exercised were higher. Next, the scientists put the rats in a cold bath to create a stressful environment.
One of the negative effects of stress is that it will deplete the body's 5-HT reserves. The experimental results are also as they expected. Under the stress environment, the active substances such as 5-HT in a certain area of the brain of the rats who exercise are also rapidly released, so as to balance the stress.
This shows that mice that exercise can better cope with stress, and this phenomenon also occurs in humans. The report was published in the Journal of Neuroscience.
Editor's note: The national movement is not just a slogan now. Let's move. Go out for a walk! Go out and jog! Not only is the body healthy, but also relieves stress and tension.
