The pressure brought by work, study, and social aspects nowadays often makes us feel very stressed and breathless. Although appropriate pressure can give us greater motivation, from the perspective of physical health, long-term depression in the heart may have a great negative impact on the body and are more likely to get sick, especially for women, where the negative effects will be more obvious.
Everyone must have heard this sentence: endure ovarian cysts for a while, take a step back breast hyperplasia . After a long period of anger and anxiety, women will easily proliferate, which is very unfavorable to the health of breast . So is there any special effective way to decompress without spending money? For our health, Yale University professor of psychiatry Adam M Chekroud began to suggest that everyone try exercise to relieve stress.
This study was published in the famous journal Lancet Psychiatry. The team classified and analyzed the information of the behavioral risk factor monitoring system in 2011, 2013 and 2015, with a total of 1.2 million people. Adjusted based on age, race, gender, marital status, income, education level, BMI category, physical health and previous depression diagnosis, and finally found that maintaining exercise is not only beneficial to external physical health, but also can play an internal role in helping people relieve stress.
Then you may be asking, isn’t athletes no longer under pressure? Actually, this is not the case.
team found that the more you love exercise, the better the decompression effect. People who can exercise 3 to 5 times in a week and exercise duration can reach more than 45 minutes, the best effect of alleviating psychological stress. But if you are an exercise maniac, you will feel uncomfortable if you have to exercise every day and don’t exercise, and the exercise time exceeds an hour and a half, it may increase your psychological pressure. It may even be in a worse state than those who do not exercise at all. This is because people who exercise excessively may have a tendency to obsessive-compulsive disorder in their hearts. They may not have paid attention to it, but the inner pressure has been accumulated. Even if you exercise well, you should pay attention to moderate.
In addition to conscious exercise, scientists have another interesting discovery, that is, simply doing housework, such as washing dishes, washing clothes, mopping the floor, etc., the number of days with poor mental health every month will also reduce the number of people who do not exercise at all. When doing housework, people will be in a relatively relaxed state and will not think randomly. In addition, this amount of exercise of about half an hour to an hour is also more suitable, and will not cause too much burden on the body. If you don’t know what exercise you are good, you can start by helping your family share the housework.
