In this article, Blumenthal shares the findings of an experiment conducted on 2,000
people that showed signs of depression and suffered from chronic heart failure (CHF). The study
required the participants to complete daily exercises. The basis of the research was that the
participants who exercised daily saw both their CHF and symptoms of depression decrease
dramatically, while at the same time increasing most of the participants’ mortality rate
significantly. The experiment also showed that daily exercise had a positive impact on veterans
and others suffering from PTSD.
This article was very short and lacked a lot of specifics, but did a good job of quickly
getting the reader’s attention with interesting facts. It was a quick read, and provided interesting
points. I personally like that the article was concise, and didn’t include a lot of extras. The
number of people in the study also provided credibility to the findings,
