QUOTE BOARD “There have been hundreds of research trials examining the effects of physical activity (PA) on depression, anxiety and psychological distress, many of which suggest that PA may have similar effects to psychotherapy and pharmacotherapy (and with numerous advantages over psychotherapy and pharmacotherapy, in terms of cost, side-effects and ancillary health benefits). Despite the evidence for the benefits of PA, it has not been widely adopted therapeutically.” WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW Exercise is not a treatment for depression and anxiety, exercise addresses a primary cause of depression and anxiety – exercise deficiency! Your brain and body and mind REQUIRE daily exercise in order to genetically express healthy function, healthy moods, healthy attitudes, and resilience to the stress of life. WHAT YOU NEED TO DO Please do not wait to become depressed or anxious before implementing a daily exercise routine. Daily exercise not only resolves depression and anxiety, it PREVENTS IT!
