It might significantly lower the risk of depression.

它可能会显著降低患上抑郁症的风险。

First, how much is a little exercise?

首先，少量运动是多少？

Currently, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control recommends Americans spend two and a half hours every week taking part in an aerobic activity, like a fast-paced walk.

目前，美国疾病控制中心建议美国人每周花两个半小时参加有氧运动，比如快节奏散步。

And in addition, the CDC says we should work out all major muscle groups twice a week.

此外，疾控中心称，我们应该每周锻炼两次所有主要肌肉群。

The benefits are well-documented.

这些好处是有据可查的。

Exercise can lower stress, reduce anxiety, improve sleep, protect us against heart problems and diabetes, but new research that looked at 15 other studies found that adults who walked 75 minutes a week, half the government's recommended level, had a risk of depression that was 18 percent lower than those who don't exercise at all.

锻炼可以降低压力，减少焦虑，改善睡眠，保护我们免受心脏病和糖尿病的侵害。但一项针对其他15项研究的新研究发现，每周步行75分钟的成年人，即只完成政府建议的一半运动时间，患抑郁症的风险比那些根本不锻炼的人低18%。

The risk was 25 percent lower for people who followed the recommended amount but working out more than that didn't improve depression rates.

对于那些遵循推荐时间量的人来说，这种风险降低了25%，但运动超过推荐量并不能改善患抑郁率。

So, what's the big conclusion here?

那么，主要结论是什么？

In short, we should get off the couch and move.

这项研究于本周发表在《美国医学会精神病学》杂志上，作者表示，它可以帮助健康专家为那些没有时间遵循疾控中心建议运动时间量的人提供指导。
