Celebrities: they really are just like us, especially when it comes to their mental health struggles, right? Well, not really, but it’s worth noting that at least some of them are honest about it.
In fact, actress Candace Cameron Bure recently admitted that her fitness routine helps her deal with her depression. Here’s what she has to say.
Candace Cameron Bure Says Fitness Helps Her Deal With Depression
The “Fuller House” star says she knows the importance of mental health and says that keeping active has helped her deal with her depression throughout the years, and especially with things like motherhood and her career. She even admitted that she feels stronger now at 45 than when she did as a 20-year-old.
Speaking to The Salvation Army Midland Division, the mother-of-three put it this way: “It’s just every time you get stronger, or I see my muscles from doing more pushups, it keeps me going to want to do more and just keep that up. Really another big part why fitness is important for me is it’s so beneficial to my mental health.
I juggle, as we all do, a lot of plates. I not only juggle my family but also work in a lot of different capacities. It can get really difficult.”
“I need to keep my mental health clear. Just sweating that out and all those endorphins really help me a lot. I notice a huge difference when I don’t exercise, how much it can affect me mentally and kind of deal with depression,” she continued. “That’s why I keep going. There are a lot of benefits I get. My mind is most important, and exercise definitely helps that.”
Cameron also opened up about being an empty nester for the first time in her life. Her children – Natasha, 23, Lev, 21, and Maksim, 19 – have all left for college.
“My kids are all young adults,” she said. “I actually was an empty nester before the pandemic started. My son, my youngest, was in high school but was in Minnesota. I still never really got him back home because he graduated. But now, he’s in college in Virginia.”
“My other two who moved out, they’re older. So, this is definitely a different season of life for me,” she noted of her latest adventures in motherhood. “But my kids don’t need me any less. At least, that’s how I like to think about it. They’re still always calling, and we FaceTime about every other day.”
