Physical activity contributes to the production of serotonin, known as the “hormone of happiness”, which gives us a good mood, cheerfulness, a surge of strength and energy. As fitness trainer Yulia Gulyaeva told Gazeta.Ru, sport is an integral part of the treatment of psycho-emotional disorders, including depression.
She stressed that intense physical activity burdens the nervous system and psyche, so they should be carefully dosed to prevent deterioration. In no case should you torture yourself with sports, and even more so in combination with strict diets.
“The load should be moderate, but regular. The psychological aspect is also very important: you should be comfortable in training, you should not force yourself to go there, ”the expert warns.
For those who literally have no strength for anything, the specialist recommends starting with any small activity: “Clean up the apartment, go to the store, take a walk around the house. And be sure to cheer and praise yourself for these achievements. When the movement becomes easier, increase the level of activity.
According to her, walks and any outdoor activities are useful, as they provide the body with oxygen, which improves overall well-being and increases efficiency. As for training, according to the expert, they should not be a duty, punishment or working off something, for example, a piece of cake.
“The main thing is to be comfortable and interesting. Try those types that have never been done before – this will avoid the routine, ”she concluded.
