When you have symptoms of depression or feel depressed, you may hear that light exercise is a good idea.
In fact, I also do it when I can do light running with vitamin D supplements 2-3 times a week, but the effect is as I mentioned in the previous article, so please refer to the report below.
Well, in my case, I run for about 20 minutes or 3km at a time, but honestly, there are many times when it's difficult, and when the symptoms of depression are severe, I get up for running, even if it's mild, and get up from home. Going out is a difficult task, isn't it?
So, there is "stretching" as a light exercise that you can easily do indoors. How about this? Doesn't stretching have the effect of relieving depressive symptoms? Talk.
There is talk that when blood flow decreases, depression may occur, and it means that the blood flow decreases, the supply of oxygen and nutrients to the brain decreases, the brain function decreases, and depressive symptoms are more likely to occur. However, conversely, it is logical that depressive symptoms will not be alleviated if the blood flow is improved by light exercise or stretching to improve the supply of oxygen and nutrients to the brain.
When I looked it up on the internet, there was an article like this.
Relationship between depression and stress and stretching (stretch-up media)
Indeed, it seems that stretching is effective for depression.
That's why, when you actually try stretching yourself, how effective it is for depressive symptoms, whether your brain is refreshed, and how you feel when you are in a depressed state or when you are about to fall. I decided to give it a try.
That said, it is my own subjective measurement, and since I am the only sample, it may not be scientifically useful as any reference data, but I would appreciate it if you could read it as if there were such cases. I will.
Try using "Stretch Hearts" to accompany your stretch
The story is, "What is Stretch Hearts
It is such an instrument.
A guy who puts his back on the floor and stretches it, or stretches with both hands.
A few years ago, Naoki Hosaka introduced a stretch device called " Stretch Hearts
When I bought it, I used to use it because I was suffering from stiff shoulders and stiff back due to stress at work and workplace and severe depression symptoms, but after I quit my job and became free, my shoulder stiffness and back stiffness were completely good. I haven't used it much recently because I'm in good shape with stiffness, but I wondered why I should use it.
Try using Stretch Hearts
It's how I saw it on TV, but it's also a suitable device for "scapula peeling" that was popular a while ago.
Stretch Hearts
Just put the stretch hearts
It feels good to feel the protrusions gouge the inside of the shoulder blades, and it feels painful. There is a feeling that the shoulder blades are peeling off.
If you move your arms up and down, it will have the effect of getting a shoulder blade massage, and your spine will stretch and you will be fluttering. It seems that he was quite sick (´ ・ ω ・ ｀).
There must have been various other uses, but I can't find the instruction manual, so I'll search for "stretch hearts" on youtube.
Well, I don't know until I continue, but when I try stretching with Stretch Hearts
I think the big issue is how to get into the habit of light exercise, even if it is stretching, but if such equipment is within reach, it will also motivate you to try stretching easily for your hands. Maybe it's easier to continue than stretching without anything?
It doesn't get in the way, so if you have one, you can easily use it not only for yourself but also for your family, and I think it's about 4000 yen, which is not expensive in the genre of health appliances (I bought it because I thought it was cheap).
I think that you can only get it online, so if you like, you can try it.
So what about the effect on depressive symptoms? Talk
Coco I've been feeling very depressed recently, probably because of the rainy season, but it's been about two weeks since I started to verify the stretch.
I was depressed, so I didn't have the motivation to update my blog, but I'm currently updating my blog like this for the first time in a while.
In other words, the depressive symptom is in a state of being much lessened.
I don't know if this is the effect of stretching or other factors, but I think it's probably due to multiple factors including stretching (I also take vitamin D supplements and sometimes run). In addition to promoting blood flow by stretching, it may be that you are concentrating on stretching when you are doing stretching, or that your thoughts are organized and your brain function is restored because it is close to a "blurred" state. ?? You can think of it.
Well, in my personal opinion, stretching has some effect on alleviating depressive symptoms.
For those who say, "I know that exercise is good, but if I can do it, I'll have a hard time!", I think it's a good idea to start with stretching.
