Walk Off Depression

A brisk 30 minute walk a day may be as effective in preventing and treating depression as some prescription medications. Research also shows that people who walk every day are happier and manage stress better than those who don't. It's probably thanks to the endorphin high we experience for 1-2 hours after exercise. That high seems to permeate throughout the day.

* As a side note, please seek immediate medical treatment if you believe you are suffering from depression.
