Dianne Hansen is the author of one my favorite blogs, .Enjoying Your Health Dot Com. [NO LONGER ONLINE]
Well, ... last week, she emailed me one of her articles.
Guys, I loved it; but, I was a little hesitant to publish the article... because all my "mellow followers" know, ... in this place .... relaxation is key.
I don't want any exercising going on.

My second concern, ... you don't have to be bipolar to be here. All are welcome. The more the merrier.
That said, when you leave this place, I definitely agree with Dianne on the importance of exercise in stabilizing mood. I'm going to throw my "two cents" in at a later post, but for now, ... I bring you her insightful article.

Regular Exercise Has a Fabulous Stabilizing Effect on Bipolar Disorder
It's wonderful news that bipolar disorder can be managed! There is a lot of controversy in the medical arena concerning bipolar disorder or manic depression, and the labeling of bipolar has dramatically risen more than 4000% in recent years. (see Google Search to verify this statistic: STATISTIC).
But we all know a couple of things for sure:
...bipolar people have a special need to balance their blood sugar
...regular exercise has a balancing effect upon any one's blood sugar
It's not required to exercise a long time and it's not necessary to be extremely vigorous. Steady, regular exercise is terrifically beneficial and not hard to fit into your daily regimen. Be encouraged! Here's a relatively easy way you can improve your health and steady your mood swings. It's not lightweight news...
To help you better understand the connection between blood sugar levels and insulin and mood swings, consider these things:
...The hormone, insulin, enables cells to convert food to energy. When cells become resistant to the effects of insulin or they lose their ability to respond to insulin and the pancreas responds by making more of the hormone. This leads to overly high levels of insulin and glucose in the blood. Excess insulin signals cells to hold onto fat instead of using it for energy. It also leads to rather severe mood swings.
...But during exercise, the body transfers sugar from the blood into the muscle cells, where it is used as fuel. This process reduces the amount of glucose in the bloodstream. Additionally, regular exercise can improve the body's response to insulin. Increased sensitivity helps insulin perform its work more efficiently, and saves you from severe mood swings.
...So if you can't metabolize glucose/sugars or fats, your body and your emotions are in disarray. It's a natural malfunction, even though it's complicated. The inner workings of your body systems are amazingly intricate and interdependent...
Thank God there ARE some simple fixes, if you will employ them regularly!
Exercising is one of the simple fixes for blood sugar imbalance. Stabilize bipolar mood swings by exercising regularly. (How about 15 minutes of stretches every morning?)
