Talk about depression if blood flow drops

The story that human beings have a defense system against stress is as I mentioned in the other day, "You should do important work in the morning, because you are vulnerable to stress at night ."

When you feel stress, a hormone called cortisol is secreted, but if you continue to be stressed, that cortisol continues to be secreted, and if the cortisol level is high, you are more likely to become depressed and become more severe.
This is evidenced by the latest medicine, as depression patients generally have high levels of cortisol.

But, well, cortisol is a hormone necessary for human activity, and if it is not within the proper cortisol level, the body will be sick, so it is not a bad thing.

However, there is a theory that "because blood flow decreases" because "why does cortisol increase and cause depression?"

Talk about depression if blood flow drops

Depression may occur when blood flow decreases, that is,

・ When you feel stress, cortisol is secreted.
・ If you continue to be stressed and cortisol is secreted excessively, muscles and blood vessels become tense and blood flow deteriorates.
・ When blood flow deteriorates, body temperature drops and you feel unwell. become

Also, blood flow to the brain is reduced, which affects brain function and leads to mental disorders such as depression. The theory.

It is said to be effective for depression

It is often said that it is effective for depression

・ Walk
・ Soak in the sun
・ Light exercise
・ Muscle training

It seems that there are reasons such as secreting serotonin and relaxing the brain, but these seem to be effective in "promoting blood flow" as well .

With that in mind, the theory of "lowering blood flow" may seem unreliable. Of course, improving blood flow doesn't mean that depression will be cured, but it may be worth trying to improve blood flow.

The specific method for improving blood flow would be simply "warming the body . "
The above-mentioned walks, sun exposure, light exercise, muscle training, etc. will bring you closer to improvement and remission of depression, and it may be effective to slowly warm the tips of your limbs.

When you're depressed, you know, "I'm not depressed if I can take a walk or exercise."
"If you can do that, I won't take care of you," isn't it?

When depression is severe, I think it's best to sleep rather than exercise or anything like that. Lie down and rest your body. Don't think about anything as much as possible.

I thought, "The brain network will be reconstructed while I sleep," so I slept a lot and rested my brain.

I don't know if that worked, but if I manage to get up and be able to work, I should just take a light walk or go to a hot spring.

In addition to preventing depression, it is a fact that you should exercise to some extent for your normal health, so I will introduce articles related to depression and exercise, so please read it if you like. Right.
