The author of the website looks to have experience in using food and soda as a feel better method, like the website encourages. There’s also advice on taking aspirin for an ache rather than the more common advice around my culture of identifying the source of the symptom. I don’t think this is a very healthy website.

  I agree. The recommendation for cooking is (one could say) interesting: > Here are some ideas for easy foods > you can eat right now: -Pasta with butter, sauce, cheese, vegetables, and/or meat -Ramen noodles -Sandwiches -Rice -Grilled cheese (This can have meat on it, if you want!) -A smoothie or milkshake -Baked or fried potatoes -Eggs, pancakes, and/or bacon -Macaroni and cheese -Canned soup -Salad. -Boxed mashed potatoes

    You have to say you need a meal and need help to see it. It isn't for you if making a meal doesn't feel overwhelming right now.

    Ah yes, the "how many carbs can you eat in one sitting" standard American diet.

So not likely to see this one then? Did you use your squat rack in the last 24 hours? No: Go do some lifting. (That's a sure fire way to lift my spirits.)

  I wish I could upvote this more than once. For me nothing else I have ever found is nearly as effective as lifting.

    The zyzz way out of depression!

      Absolutely. For me the mental health benefits almost outweigh (sorry) the physical ones - however of course it also demonstrates just how connected the two are. On top of that my thinking is so much clearer too; it doesn't even have to be a big session for this to take effect, so I often sneak a quick one in if I have two meetings with only a small gap.

  Exercise is recommended in the mental health part.
  - sundvor 5y ago
    Exercise is such a wonderfully vague term. For example I get nowhere the same effect from 10 minutes of walking as I do 10 minutes of squats - perhaps lights for reps superset with shoulder presses, very short breaks.

      You're free to do squats. Any exercise has benefits though. Walking is something almost anyone can do anywhere without special equipment. And most people can spare more than 10 minutes.
