If you feel depressed, it's best to do something about it — depression doesn't just go away on its own. In addition to getting help from a doctor or therapist, here are 5 things you can do to feel better.

1   [A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H]

Take a 15- to 30-minute brisk walk every day — or dance, jog, or bike if you prefer. People wh o are depressed ma y not feel much like being active. But make yourself do it anyway (ask a friend to exercise with you if you need to be motivated). Once you get in the exercise habit, it won't take long to notice a difference in your mood.

2   [A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H]

Depression can affect appetite. One person ma y not feel like eating at all, but another might overeat. If depression has affected your eating, you'll need to be extra mindful of getting the right nourishment. Proper nutrition can influence a person's mood and energy. So eat plenty of fruits and vegetables and get regular meals (even if you don't feel hungry, try to eat something light, like a piece of fruit, to keep you going).

3   [A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H]

Try to identify any situations that have contributed to your depression. Whe n you know what's got you feeling blue and why, talk about it with a caring friend. Talking is a way to release the feelings and to receive some understanding. If there's no one to tell, pouring your heart out to a journal works just as well. Onc e you air out these thoughts and feelings, turn your attention to something positive.

4   [A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H]

With depression, a person's creativity and sense of fun ma y seem blocked. Take time to play with a friend or a pet, or do something funny for yourself. Find something to laugh about —- a funny movie, perhaps. Laughter helps lighten your mood.

5   [A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H]

Depression affects a person's thoughts, making everything seem dismal, negative, and hopeless. If depression has you noticing only the negative, make an effort to notice the good things in life. Try to notice one thing, then try to think of one more. Consider your strengths, gifts, or blessings. Most of all, don't forget to be patient with yourself. Depression takes time to heal.

According to legend, Marco Polo brought the secrets of ice cream with him from the Orient, together with a lot of other savories. There is, however, no proof of that, although there is some evidence that the Chinese indulged in iced drinks and desserts, which gives some weight to the Marco Polo theory.

The Chinese did, however, teach Arab traders how to combine syrups and snow, to make an early version of the sherbet. Arab traders proceeded to show Venetians, then Romans, how to make this frozen delight. The Emperor Nero was quite fond of pureed fruit, sweetened with honey, and then mixed with snow - so much so that he had special cold rooms built underneath the imperial residence in order to store snow. In the 1500s, Catherine de Medici brought the concept of the sorbet to the French, who were soon to make a great improvement on it.

As you must have noted, the above are frozen desserts, not ice cream. That invention awaited the development of the custard, then the discovery that freezing it would create a heavenly dessert. This notable event occurred in 1775 in France, and was shortly followed by the invention of an ice cream machine, which did a much better job of creating a light and fluffy frozen custard than beating by hand could do.

Thomas Jefferson, who imitated Nero in having a special cold room for storing snow, provided us with the first recipe for ice cream found in the United States. Not to be outdone, George Washington invested in one of the ice cream machines.

Until 1851, ice cream (or, more frequently, cream ice) was solely made at home . But a daring man from Baltimore, named Jacob Fussell.changed all that by opening the first ice cream factory.

Near the turn of the century, the ice cream soda was created, although by who seems to be in question - either James W. Tuff or Robert Green. It does seem to have been done by accident, however, a scoop of ice cream falling in a glass of flavored soda water. At any rate, the drink became a national craze, and many a girl and boy went courting oyer an ice cream soda. So many, in fact, that many municipalities passed laws forbidding the sale of soda water on Sunday. Quickly afterwards, the 'sundae ' was invented - it contained ice cream, syrup, and whipped cream of the soda, but without the evil influence of soda water. Numerous variations existed.

The next ice cream craze came with the 1904 Louisiana Purchase Exposition in Saint Louis. Charles Menches was doing a lively business selling scoops of ice cream in dishes, all the way up to the point that he ran out of dishes. Frustrated, but determined to still find a way to make a profit, he lighted upon his friend Ernest Hamwi, who was selling a wafer-like cookie called zalabia (a Syrian treat). The combination proved irresistible.
