Best of: Tricks To Improve Your Mood

from Dr. Howard Smith Reports · host Howard G. Smith MD, AM

From May 2020Vidcast:  https://www.instagram.com/p/DT6HO5kjrwe/As our house arrest continues, we all yearn for anything to improve our outlooks on life.  Researchers at Iowa State University studied 423 young adults 20 to 35 years of age surveying their moods and quantitating their physical activities over 10 days using wearable sensors. Almost anything is better than sitting around.  Replacing prolonged sedentary time with light physical activity, moderate physical activity, or even sleep leads to mood elevation.  Stimulating your mind and body, even with subconscious activity and dreams, will reset and refresh your brain.  If you find yourself sitting around for more than 30 minutes, get up and get physical.  Light physical activities include walking around your home cleaning, washing dishes, or cooking. https://www.ajpmonline.org/article/S0749-3797(20)30136-7/pdf #pandemic #quarantine #sedentary #sleep #cleaning
