00:00What if fighting depression could be as simple as moving your body?
00:04A review of 73 studies found something powerful.
00:07Exercise can reduce depression symptoms almost as much as therapy, and maybe even antidepressants.
00:14People who exercised felt better than those who did nothing.
00:18But here is the surprising part.
00:20You do not need intense workouts.
00:23Light to moderate exercise works even better,
00:26like brisk walking, cycling, or even cleaning.
00:30The best results came after 13 to 36 sessions,
00:35and mixing cardio with strength training worked best.
00:39But this is not for everyone.
00:41The evidence is still limited, and results can vary.
00:45So what is the takeaway?
00:47Exercise is simple, safe, and accessible.
00:51But consistency is the real key.
00:54Find what you enjoy, and just keep moving.
