Believe it or not, exercise is essentially a natural antidepressant. In fact, a recent study showed that exercise, CBT, and certain medications all show similar effects. To get the most out of your workout, do weight-training and cardio, which has shown to be even more beneficial  than just one or the other (and that's for your waistline, too).  Exercise helps boost your mood because it releases endorphins in your brain, which makes you feel better. Exercise also helps your brain make new neural connections.  50% of people who have one major episode of depression will relapse, and the likelihood goes up if you’ve had more than one episode. But exercising, eating right, and taking care of your body can limit the chance of recurrence. In addition to helping your body function at its best, it is a mood regulator, easing your mind. People, especially young people, are prone to depression and other mental illnesses if they regularly get an inadequate amount of sleep. To keep your mind and body in tiptop shape, aim for a solid 7 hours a night, if not more.  Researchers advise 8 hours of sleep a night for optimum performance, but that is not always possible in today's hectic world. Only you will know the amount of time you truly need to function at your best, figure that time frame out and do your best to hit that goal every night. It turns out all the millions of stimuli your brain has to sort through every second really take a toll. Through the day, the brain accumulates so much information it just slows down. Recent research has shown that enough sleep gets rid of the things that keep your brain from performing well. Eating a low-fat diet, rich in vitamins, nutrients, omega-3s (found in fish), and folic acid can be helpful for mood regulation and balance. You are what you eat, after all. If you eat healthy, you'll feel healthy – inside and out. Excessive sugar consumption often correlates to higher instances of depression. Since eating a lot of sugar causes your glucose levels to spike then drop low, it can make you feel irritable, anxious, and depressed. Cut processed, sugary goods out of your diet and you may start feeling remarkably better. Alcohol is a depressant that can alter your mood without you even realizing it. What’s more, those at risk for depression are also at greater risk of alcohol abuse and developing alcoholism. To be safe in the short and long term, just avoid it. One glass of red wine a day has been shown to be beneficial in some studies. That's one glass, or 5 ounces. No more! Depression is associated with a greater risk of heart disease and diabetes. Those with depression and other mental illnesses tend to have higher rates of ‘’physical’’ illnesses than people without mental instabilities. It works the other way, too – the more physical ailments you’re suffering from, the more likely you are to be depressed. So stay on top of your health!  Keep in mind that some medical conditions share symptoms with depression. For example, thyroid issues and hormone imbalances can make you think you're depressed. Getting regular medical care will help you get the correct treatment for your condition. Visit your doctor regularly for routine physical check-ups. This on top of eating right and exercising will ensure that your body is setting your mind up for success.

Put one or two teaspoons of povidone-iodine into cool soaking water instead of Epsom salts. Povidone-iodine is an effective antiseptic. Keep in mind that this will not treat an ingrown toenail, but it may help to prevent an infection. Apply some fresh lemon juice and honey or Manuka honey to the toe. Then wrap the toe with gauze and leave the bandage on overnight. The lemon and honey may help to fight the infection overnight. Lemon has antimicrobial effects, but it will not get rid of an ingrown toenail. Oils applied to the toenails can help moisturize and soften the skin, reducing the pressure put on the toenail when you have to wear shoes. Try the following oils for fast relief:  Tea tree oil: this essential oil is both an antibacterial and an antifungal agent that smells great.  Baby oil: another great-smelling mineral oil, this doesn't have the antimicrobial properties of tea tree oil, but works great for softening the skin.
