What Habits Will Help Avoid Depression: Comments from Scientists
Depression is a serious illness that needs to be treated by doctors.
But recently, scientists from Britain and China have reported in a study that the risk of developing the problem can be reduced.
At the same time, as noted by an international group of experts, one must remember only simple habits that everyone can follow.
Data from 290,000 people was analyzed. As a result, it was found that high-quality, healthy sleep helps reduce the likelihood of the problem by 22 percent.
The corresponding publication was published in Nature .
In addition, the authors of the work are confident that it is also important to reduce the amount of alcohol consumed and follow healthy eating rules to protect your body.
The risk can be reduced by another 18 percent if you maintain contact with loved ones and lead an active social life.
Quitting smoking and regular physical activity also have a positive effect on well-being and help avoid the problem.
As the authors explained in their work, the combination of these habits has a positive impact on the lives of those men and women who are genetically predisposed to depression.
