We already know that any physical activity improves our physical and mental health, which is surely have wondered how to get a person depressed by the four walls that make up your condo.
Now the response gives us a British study showing that clean floors, washing windows or perform any other task from home not only will make your home look bright but also help away from the depression.
According to the investigation, the effect of exercise performed within the home will be more effective the more vigorous and frequent sea. It also requires at least 20 minutes of activity to relieve stress, anxiety and depression.
Among the findings was observed that make sport once a week reduces by 33% the likelihood of suffering an attack of anxiety, while perform condohold chores reduced the risk by 20%. While the benefits are greatest when the activity is a sport, cleaning floors can help people who are not in the spirit of leaving his condo to reverse the situation.
However, not all cleaning activity produces benefits, the study clarifies. The activity should not be lightly or take less than 20 minutes, then move on to the cloth furniture will not be enough to improve mental health. In other words, if the condohold is beneficial task must produce physical agitation.
The study said that no known mechanism by which exercise and associated depression, but previous work has shown that exercise improves mental health because it induces the release of hormones associated with pleasure and happiness , including endorphins.
Beyond the encouraging that the results may be, there are disagreements. A psychologist Spanish, Fernando Gimeno Framework, says that physical activity is beneficial for mental problems, but always as an action which is included in the psychological treatment.
According to the specialist, 20 minutes of exercise will not allow a person ceases to be depressing. Even believes that physical activity can cause bad practiced frustrations and depression, therefore advised to take caution.
But their initial statements, the psychologist says that whenever a person will realize that it is capable of doing something useful, important and beneficial for them and for those around them, the effect will be largely positive.
It may not be the exercise in which eliminates direct depression, but it can be the starting point for a recovery. I repeat, it was found that physical activity generates significant improvements in mental health, but the individual with depression often refuse to leave his home, that's why I think a good alternative to the fact sweat and release endorphins cleaning floors.
It might be cleaning the home gateway to the outside world for people stressed, anxious or depressed. Do not you think?
