One pathway through which exercise helps depressio

So according to Daniel Amen, exercise pulls amino acids to your muscles and that way Tryptophan has less competition at the blood brain barrier. I am not a fanboy, but maybe some things he says could be helpful.

Other antidepressant mechanisms of exercise?

Is Amen right? What are other mechanisms? I heard there is an endorphin release. How does that work?

I think the benefits of exercise to mitigate depression are multifactorial. It does work, though. Prolonged aerobic exercise works better than intense resistance training. However, resistance training still has a positive effect.

Doing both is best is what I heard. I am now looking into the question if I am too acidic. What I eat points in that direction. Got myself an apple cider/Bicarbonate/Water and honey drink.
