However, as time has progressed, various studies have shown that you do not need to medicate all medical conditions. Some can be cured by simply taking up your favourite sport. So for some conditions, maybe all you need is to grab your sporting gear and head out to play that sport that you have always wanted to play.
Impact of sports on depression
According to various studies, depression can be cured by taking up your favourite sport. Studies have shown that sustained low-impact exercise promotes the release of neurotrophic factors that lead to the generation of new nerve cells that form new nerve connections. The new nerve connections can develop in the Amygdala, the part of the brain that controls emotion, which will help you feel better. Exercise also releases endorphins that give you a good feeling.Apart from depression, there are other conditions whose management can be made better either by exercise or can be used as an adjunct treatment.
