Working out and breaking a sweat will not only get you in shape but it will also improve your mood.
A report in Psychosomatic Medicine has revealed that anti-depressants and sweating are equally effective in treating serious depression.
Researchers assigned groups of adults anti-depressants while others were prescribed a fitness regimen. While the group taking the medication had a remission rate of 47%, the group which was exercising showed a 45% remission rate.
James Blumenthal, Ph.D., author of the study, said exercise builds a sense of accomplishment, which can combat depression by stoking feelings of self-control.
