"Scientists have confirmed that people who take regular exercise are less likely to be depressed, provided the activity is carried out in leisure time.

People who exert themselves at work, for instance by digging up roads or heavy lifting, were no less likely to suffer depression than those in sedentary desk jobs."


"The study found that individuals who took part in regular physical activity – however mild or intense – were less likely to have symptoms of depression. However, this only held true when activity was part of leisure.

The more people engaged in physical activity in their spare time, the less chance they had of being depressed."

I'm inclined to agree. I've made a point to do more cycling and walking recently and I feel generally happier.

I still huff and puff and have to stop at times with all the usual aches and pains afterwards so god knows if the act of exercising is part of it, but I love to be out in the brisk air with my headphones in singing like a fool and not caring who's hearing. I thoroughly recommend an evening walk every other day even if it's just for 30 mins.
