This is actually really good advice. You don't have to do a 20 mile bike ride to start, though. I was extremely depressed about two years ago. I started writing poetry just to get my thoughts on paper. As that helped me feel better, I started jogging. First walking most of the 35 min, then running more and more. After I started jogging, I started eating better and losing weight. Each little bit helps. There's obviously a lot more to mental health than that, and it won't help everyone, but anything's worth a shot.
