Turn Your Frown Upside Down...

Stave off the blues with these fun tips ! :)


1) Dance like crazy...
Dancing get you moving,which boosts your blood circulation,ad gets your body working properly.As a bonus,this exercise helps your brain produce endorphins,those magical feel good chemicals.Also,if you've been hiding your feelings,or aren't too good at expressing yourself,then you ca use dance to act out the you feel.Once you've "spoken" you'll feel better !

2) Tell a joke...
When you're laughing,your brain releases endorphin,which are brain chemicals that make you feel good :)

3) Eat garlic !
Garlic affects the release of serotonin,the brain chemical that acts as a tranquilliser to calm you down,induce sleep and relieve depression.Eating a few cloves of fresh crushed garlic in your lunch can relieve stress in a natural way.

4) Pump up volume !
When you're down,don't listen to sad stuff ; it will only make you feel worse ! Instead,go for music that will give you a boost.

5) Take up running...
Running is a very simple activity,but it can pack a powerful punch and knock out that depression.Running helps the brain release feel-good chemicals,and tones the body,which improves self-esteem.
6) Let it all hang out...
People who have long-term or repeated episodes of depression,often find it useful to meet up with a support group.Just meeting up underlines the face that they are not the only ones who are struggling with depression.If you don't have a support group,create one by talking to friends and family.You'd be surprised how many people have been depressed at one time or another.
7) Eat chocolate...
Dark chocolate or cocoa helps boost your blood flow,which means your body floods with oxygen,giving you an instant energy boost.
8) Play video games...
Play video games can boost your health IF you pick the right ones.......look for "exergaming" devices that combine video game fun with real exercise :)
