I slightly disagree with bluesky regarding exercise and clinical depression. Exercise alone will, of course, not "cure" severe depression, but it can certainly help to alleviate the symptoms along with medication, talking therapies etc. Physical activity stimulates the serotonin and dopamine both of which have a beneficial effect on mood.

There's depression and depression. One is the 'I'm feeling low' mood and the other clinical depression. Sadly no amount of exercise and fresh air will cure the latter.

Someone made a dismissive comment about depression and exercise.

My understanding is that it can be very beneficial and without any of the problems associated with so called antidepressants.

Although antidepressants are allegedly not addictive it is now widely recognised that a lot of people suffer terrible withdrawal symptoms when they try to come off the things.

anyone?

Well some people would know about that

BTW, GNHQ don't take kindly to posters correcting other people's spelling.

Yeah...too late to edit

Oops! Watch you’re your spelling Gabriella ??

For future reference MawB I take no notice of your snickerty remarks any more so save your ?and ?️
You're comments are jaded.

A new mobile but old advice.

It's a new mobile and haven't got around to figuring out links. I don't use my laptop.

MawB yes, I was very impressed by your baking and wondered if you took orders!
(my baking is hopeless)

Thanks Oopsminty.

Is this the link you're after?

I'd take anything the DM says with a large pinch of salt .... even though that would also be rather bad for me

One day they say one thing, the next they contradict themselves

I should take them annodomini. I've lost four inches!

I will glug a couple now. (If only they weren't so big!)

I often wondered why they put those information leaflets in packs of tablets. Now I realist they're for those poor souls who need everything digested (as it were) for them by the tabloid press.
*Gonegirl'. Panic not, I've been taking ADCal for nine years and so far no kidney stones. I think I've lost an inch (in height not width) somewhere, sometime in the last 40 years.

Ah, Callistemon I see - about the cycling.
But did you think I had baked that cake?
You have clearly never experienced my baking ????
I am flattered though - thank you

I’m not a great fan of rappers....unless they start with a W and contain chocolates.

Gabriella - Link PLEASE!!!!!

Any kind of a rush might do me good right now Callistemon.

I do wish Gabriella could cope with links. Just spent a good twenty minutes working through all the stuff under 'Health' in the Mail and still didn't find this one. Found yesterday's one ok.

Medical advice from the Daily Fail???? ....... I don’t think so!

Pill popping?......??. Such empathy shown to those unfortunate enough having to rely on life saving meds but hey, some young female journalist based in New York, in another similar post, fills a gap in this rag with her medical knowledge ??

Too late, Nathan's eaten it all.

Now he's having a sugar rush.

My son bought me some calcium tablets because I am losing so much height, but I don't like to take them. Worried about side effects (kidney stones?)

I'd eat that cake.

I swear that a high dose vit D tablet makes my acid reflux worse. It's only a tiny little pill too. Looks so harmless.

Some pain killers are already supplemented with vit C. Don't know how that works but apparently it does. Not the best one to take at bedtime though I wouldn't have thought.

Ps cycling as an alternative to long walks
