Bulbed Flower People experiencing symptoms of depression and anxiety are not alone. More than.5 million Americans aged 5 or older is affected by depression according to the National Alliance of Mental Illness. There is not a single cause to depression or other mental health issues, nor a sure-fire way to prevent it. However, there are ways to improve your chances of preventing the development of depression symptoms and other mental illnesses. Four Ways to Prioritize Your Mental Health: Keep Mentally Active Playing board games, enjoying a daily crossword or participating in a trivia activities are all ways to exercise your mind. Stimulating your brain by learning new skills, playing games that challenge your mind and increasing your social interaction may aid in keeping yourself mentally sharp. Keep Physically Active Another way to stimulate the brain is to increase the blood flow to your brain with physical exercise. Even something as simple as sixty minutes of dancing each week can help reduce the symptoms of depression. Socialize Loneliness and isolation can make depression symptoms even more pronounced. Participating in events, having coffee with a friend and talking to loved ones on the phone are all ways to stimulate the brain and minimize the symptoms of depression. Eat a healthy diet Consuming lots of vegetables and good fats (such as fatty fish, nuts and olives) has many benefits, including the minimizing the risks of cognitive decline! Take advantage of the spring bounty of fresh vegetables, the longer hours of sunlight and the many fun activities going on in our community and prioritize your mental health this March.
