In this episode, we look at an important topic for those recovering from benzodiazepine dependence: balancing physical activity during withdrawal. Exercise plays a crucial role in overall health and well-being, but the intensity of physical activity requires careful consideration during this sensitive period.
We'll discuss how different types of exercise can impact withdrawal symptoms and overall healing. While intense workouts may be detrimental and exacerbate symptoms, light exercise can support the recovery process when approached mindfully. We'll also touch on the role of cortisol and how it affects withdrawal symptoms, as well as the impact vigorous physical activity can have on the central nervous system.
Listeners will learn about the benefits of gentle exercises like walking, stretching, yoga, swimming, tai chi, and qigong. These activities can reduce stress, improve mood, and promote better sleep quality. We'll emphasize the importance of listening to your body and adjusting your exercise routine to support your recovery journey.
