Mental health: how to take care of yourself naturally

October 10th, is Mental Health Awareness Day around the world, an opportunity to come back to some tips to boost your psychological well-being daily, without medication and prevent the occurrence of anxiety, depression or paranoia.

 Exercise first

Many recent studies have shown that training can be an effective way to prevent or fight depression. One of the most significant studies in this field was published earlier this month and showed that even one hour of physical activity per week could be auspicious.

After tracking 33,908 Norwegian adults for more than 11 years, the researchers found that those who reported not doing sports at the beginning of the study had a 44% increased risk of developing depression compared to those who reported exercise between one and two hours a week. Also, 12% of cases of depression could have been avoided if participants had spent an hour a week.

 Sleep must be a priority

 UK researchers found that the treatment of insomnia using cognitive behavioral therapy online could afford to help cope with anxiety, depression, and paranoia.

Scientists have shown that by using psychological treatment to improve sleep, they can also improve the mental health of the subjects, while lack of sleep is closely linked to an increased risk of depression.

 Volunteer

Help the other product positive effects, both physically and mentally. In 2013, a meta-analysis of 40 academic searches showed that volunteers were less depressed and more satisfied with life than people who never volunteered.

A 2016 study also pointed out that people who put time before money were happier, using their free time for more social activities, such as volunteering for an association, for example.

 Nature allows you to recharge your batteries

A study in New Zealand has established for the first time a direct link between mental health and seeing the sea or ocean, more visibility of space was blue, the more the subject was protected from psychological distress.

Many studies have already shown the benefits of nature and green spaces on health. In 2015, an American study showed that men, especially those aged 65 and over, slept better when they had access to a natural area. It resulted in a lower risk of depression due to a better quality of sleep following these exits.

Natural areas would also be beneficial to children, incorporating trees and grass to play areas, and it would lower the level of stress in children. Another study showed that living near a green space could reduce the aggressive behavior of some adolescents.
