Dr. Heidi Kling | Stay Active

Heidi Kling, Ph.D., highlights that exercise can help combat depression by elevating mood and energy levels and stimulating brain activity positively, according to studies. Aim for at least 30 minutes of moderate physical activity each day – start slow and build up gradually until longer durations are possible; walking, dancing, yoga, or swimming are excellent choices.

Maintain a balanced diet, mainly by reducing sugar and refined carbs that may contribute to energy crashes and mood slumps—incorporating foods rich in B vitamins like leafy greens, citrus fruits, beans, chicken, and eggs. Heidi Kling therapist
