#Repost @blackmentalwellness with @make_repost ・・・ The head coach from the Ohio State University basketball team understands this more than most! Coach Holtmann, the Ohio State University men’s basketball coach stands in full support of his star basketball player D.J. Carton, who has taken a leave of absence from the team, to deal with his mental health. . . . While the team noted that they do need the freshman guard especially with the upcoming schedule, they are also being careful not to pressure Carton as they are prioritizing his full recovery over winning games. We stand in awe of this type of mental health support. This is how you shift the narrative and treatment of mental health 💙 #BlackMentalWellness #AthleteMentalHealth https://www.instagram.com/p/B82CJdWgYOL8_p8Uel07eYmgfoMOkrlJsBpuCo0/?igshid=1h2fush9jbvk0

Strength Training can help Relieve your Anxiety & Depression "What many people don't yet realize is that daily exercise alone may be powerful enough to drastically reduce your anxiety. Studies have shown time and time again that there is an incredibly strong relationship between anxiety and exercise - one that could tip the scales towards living an anxiety free life. For some people, exercise alone may actually cure their anxiety. For everyone else, it will be at least a benefit." source: calmclinic.com A recent study analyzed data from 33 randomized clinical trials (considered the "gold standard" kind of study for medical research) with a total of 1,877 participants. They found that, overall, resistance training was associated with a significant reduction in depressive symptoms. Depression affects more than 300 million people around the world. The economic burden of care and missed work carry totals to an average of $118 billion annually. The condition is strongly associated with other health struggles as well, including an increased risk of cardiovascular disease, Alzheimer's, type 2 diabetes, and death. source: @kevin_loria01 @businessinsider Book in pic : Anxiety & Depression by: Charles H.
