Research that focuses on the amazing “healing effects” of “exercise” is now attracting worldwide attention.Exercising can protect you from stress, has an antidepressant effect comparable to that of antidepressants, increases resilience factors and makes you more anxious, and can eliminate the same level of dementia risk as genetics. “Nature’s second strongest ‘sleep-inducing drug’ is made in the body”Dr. Jennifer Hayes, a leading expert in “exercise x neuroscience,” compiled these surprising research results. Her research has been featured in numerous international media outlets, including The New York Times, BBC, CNN, and HuffPost. .The Japanese version of her first book that summarizes the contents in an easy-to-understand manner for the general public“Depression disappears with exercise: Reset method for “mental disorder” clarified by neuroscience”will be released on September 7th. This time,this bookPart of the contents of Chapter 2 “Move your body and be free from anxiety and panic” will be specially released.
Why exercise is good for ‘panic attacks’
For people prone to panic attacks, the benefits of vigorous exercise far outweigh the benefits of light exercise.
why? High-intensity exercise is the exposure therapy they needIt’s from High-intensity exercise exposes people with panic disorder to the symptoms they fear most, such as heart palpitations and shortness of breath.
In fact, new research shows that people with panic disorder can tolerate and benefit from high-intensity interval training (HIIT).
The researchers used a low-volume HIIT menu that consisted of:
・Exercise with high intensity for 1 minute (work hard)
– 1 minute of low-intensity exercise (moves easily)
According to calculation, just doing this HIIT menu for just 20 minutes,10 sessions of exposure therapyIt will be the same as what you received. That’s great efficiency.
Just 12 Days of Exercise Significantly Improves Panic Attacks
In this study, the HIIT menu was followed every other day for 12 days. A patient’s heart rate during vigorous exercise is 77 to 95 percent of maximum heart rate, which is considered strenuous exercise.
By the end of the 12-day period, patients will have received a total of 60 exposure therapy sessions. With such intensive treatment,Panic attack severity decreased by 40 percent in just 12 daysThat’s no surprise. Just by moving your body, you can heal your mind.
