> It is my understanding that, from an evolutionary perspective, our bodies are still wired to live as cavemen did. Relatively, humans went from being hunter-gatherers to the agricultural revolution very very recently. Think about all the things that cavemen had to do in order to survive which we do not necessarily have to do now. Exercise and constant social interaction being the big two...these two things are the best natural anti-depressants and anti-anxiety things out there probably. Also, it has been found that being in nature is pretty much the same thing as meditating as far as the anti-anxiety aspect goes. Living amongst right angles and flat surfaces really is not natural for our brains just yet.
This makes a lot of sense.
