Poor Man’s Antidepressant

There’s a demonstrated link between an individual’s level of the hormone serotonin and their overall mood. People who have lower levels of serotonin tend to be depressed, have less energy, and poorer sleep. Unfortunately, the drugs used to increase serotonin levels tend to come with a high cost to the rest of your health, up to an increased risk of suicide. There are several methods you can use to naturally increase your serotonin level without risking your sanity, your life, or the lives of those around you.

The quickest and easiest way is through daily exercise. Numerous studies have documented the boost in serotonin levels from increased activity. The production of the compound continues for several days after the activity. Exercise is truly the “poor man’s antidepressant,” not to mention beneficial for overall health.

As the saying goes, “health is wealth,” and it’s nice to know that good health doesn’t always require a lot of wealth.
