Excercise good for depression?

what excersise is good for depression,lifting sprits?
i cant afford gym prices....any tips?
and what foods are healthy too eat?

Yes! It worked for me; I even went off medication after taking it for two years with no improvement. It changes your mental attitude and gives you more confidence in yourself. Not only that, exercise stimulates the production of endorphins which really heightens your mood.

I think aerobic exercises are best (walking, biking, jogging, swimming - anything that gets you active). They increase your heart rate and improve your overall fitness. I rode my bike 4-5 times a week, went swimming and did videos at home if I couldn't go out or wanted a change.

I also avoided junk foods like chips, french fries, soda, cookies, a lot of frozen foods, etc. and stuck to eating whole foods which included a lot of fruits and vegetables, because what you feed your body can seriously effect how you feel, too.

After changing the way I lived by exercising more and eating better my life improved loads. =) Good luck to ya!

Good for depression... St. John's wort, fish oil pills, sunshine!

Exercises... basically anything... but I recommend jumping on a mini-trampoline and hindu squats (google it).

For foods, I'm putting a link below that has some good ones for you.

Hope that helps.
