Resistance Exercises Help Relieve Depression

[Ben Carson News] Resistance Exercises Help Relieve Depression By Dr. Oz and Dr. Roizen, MDs With apologies to Mr. Spock, it turns out that he was wrong about resistance: It's far from futile. A review out of the University of Limerick says that if you're depressed or anxious, resistance exercises can ease those feelings. The researchers looked at 12 studies and concluded that resistance exercise provides measurable emotional benefits, likely from the impact on blood circulation and neural firing in the brain, and from triggering the increase of insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1), a hormone that affects bone and muscle growth. Special: [Stop Eating Oatmeal and Quinoa]( Depression and anxiety are difficult to treat. Johns Hopkins Medicine says that depressive symptoms return for up to 33% of people using antidepressants, and a study in Mental Health Clinician found that about 50% of people with generalized anxiety disorder don't see positive results from initial treatment with antidepressants. Resistance exercises using your body weight and stretchy/resistance bands offer a good alternative. According to Harvard Health, one study found that 10 weeks of body weight exercises by people who haven't been doing resistance exercise improves aerobic capacity by 33%, core muscle endurance by 11%, and lower-body power by 6%. And a 2019 study found that resistance-band training is equivalent to using conventional gym equipment.  If you're dealing with depression or anxiety, try 20-30 minutes of resistance training twice weekly. To enhance its effectiveness, adopt a non-inflammatory nutrition plan and consider boosting your protein intake with a whey supplement. --------------------------------------------------------------- SPONSOR --------------------------------------------------------------- ADVERTORIAL You've been told over and over in the media that foods like oatmeal and quinoa are good for you, and you should eat lots of them. But what most people don't realize is that these two particular foods contain compounds that can actually harm your health and your digestion in many ways... And as your favorite Nutritionists, we'll explain why in this quick email, so you can avoid further harming your health and digestion with these so-called "healthy" foods... 1. Oatmeal and Oat Milk While oatmeal is touted as a healthy carb and a source of fiber, unfortunately there are more cons than pros with this food... The first problem with oats is that they are loaded with a compound called phytic acid (phytates) that significantly lowers your absorption of certain minerals and vitamins, such as calcium, magnesium, and zinc. So whenever you eat oats, the phytic acid causes you to absorb less of these vitally important minerals which could cause health problems if you eat oats too frequently, since most people already don't get enough minerals like magnesium and zinc. The second problem with oats is that they contain one of the highest residue concentrations of the toxic herbicide glyphosate, which can damage your gut, and have been linked to other health problems like cancer, hormone issues, and more. The next major problem with oats is that they are a significant source of mycotoxins in the diet, which are mold based toxins that can cause an array of gut problems, hormone problems and more. Lastly, oats can also contain high levels of the toxic heavy metal Cadmium, which is linked to health problems as this toxic heavy metal accumulates in your body. 2. Quinoa Quinoa is another food that is pitched as a health food or a "superfood". Unfortunately, this is another example of a food that has more downsides than good sides. First off, quinoa is high in compounds called saponins, that have been shown in some studies to cause gut damage and contribute to "leaky gut". Another problematic compound in quinoa are lectins, which are a type of antinutrient that can damage the cells of your intestines, and contribute to several gut disorders and immune system problems. Many friends and colleagues of ours have reported feeling abdominal pain after eating quinoa, bloating, and loose stools or diarrhea, as well as triggering of autoimmune conditions such as skin conditions. Now let's take a look at a fun little quiz below and a few more foods... Broccoli vs Kale vs Green Beans... (the #1 WORST veggie for your gut & energy) According to the best-selling author and world-renowned heart surgeon, Dr. Steven Gundry, there’s one veggie people over 40 should never eat.
