Revive your mind: the science of exercise for mental health
Exercise has been proven to be as effective, if not more, than medication and psychotherapy in treating anxiety and depression—in particular, high intensity exercise. It's thought to improve mood, reduce anxiety, and enhance stress resilience. But to reap the benefits, adherence is key.
The power of high intensity exercise
Interestingly, exercise routines involving higher intensities tend to be associated with greater benefits. While the mechanisms are complex and not fully understood, one factor thought to contribute to these benefits is lactate. This is produced during anaerobic high-intensity exercise and plays an important role in producing serotonin and norepinephrine – neurotransmitters crucial for mood regulation. Low levels of these neurotransmitters can lead to anxiety, lower inhibitory control, and reduced ability to handle stress.
Studies show exercise is as effective, if not more, in treating anxiety and depression as medication and psychotherapy.
