This excellent article from MayoClinic.com shows the growing
recognition that exercise should be a component of any anti
depression and anti anxiety treatment program. The Mayo Clinic
article cites the following: “there’s substantial evidence that
exercise can enhance mood and reduce symptoms of depression” AND
“One of the physiological mechanisms that may be at work is an
increase in levels of certain mood-enhancing neurotransmitters
in the brain. In addition, exercise may boost feel-good
endorphins, release tension in muscles, diminish sleep
abnormalities, reduce levels of the stress hormone cortisol and
even increase body temperature, which has calming effects.” It’s
likely that no one single biological or psychological factor
associated with physical activity is responsible for improving
depression and anxiety. Just as mental disorders often have many
different causes, exercise acts in many different ways. “There’s
plenty of evidence to suggest that exercise is important for
emotional well-being and is helpful in reducing symptoms of
depression,” Dr. Vickers-Douglas says. “It’s true that less is
known about how exercise affects mood. But there’s no reason to
wait until the direct, indirect and interactive influences of
physical activity on mental health are fully understood. You can
start taking advantage of the benefits of physical activity
now.” Some people have the idea that being physically active is
supposed to be easy and natural,” Dr. Vickers-Douglas says.
“Some think of it as just having enough willpower. But that
really oversimplifies it and can make us feel like failures. You
can’t just rely on willpower. Identify your strengths and skills
and apply those to exercise. Change isn’t simple, but taking a
series of simple steps in the right direction can be very
effective. Just figure out what is the very first step for you.”
Please consider exercise as one the weapons to fight depression.
Unlike some of the pharma treatments, the side effects of an
active exercise program are all huge positives.

Everyone believes that to become smart you have to go to college or a University because they can make you so smart you see? After all when you pay them lots of money and study all their debris they will give you proof of your intelligence in a little piece of parchment called a degree certificate.

For those who have not gone to college or a University they believe that this piece of paper is good for nothing more than wiping one’s rear end. Indeed that is the other end of the spectrum and something in the middle is probably more apropos to this discussion. Colleges and Universities do indeed serve a purpose and thus being too overly critical is rather harsh.

Yet if we limit thought through academic brain washing, while claiming we are teaching people to think then we are not serving the future of the Nation, nor those we hand a diploma to and tell them they are smarter than all the rest. So, what is the answer here?

Well I propose considering a way to make a more well rounded human and concentrate on developing Renaissance Students who will have information and knowledge from a much wider perspective and all the surrounding sciences which will be merging together in the near future to produce those revolutionary breakthroughs we have all come to expect from our top scientific minds in the United States. Consider this in 2006.
