| Stress makes life’s clock tick faster: Chilling out slows it down Posted: 06 Dec 2021 07:00 PM PST Scientists in recent years have developed ways to measure biological age by tracking chemical changes in DNA that occur naturally as people age but occur at different times in different people. These so-called 'epigenetic clocks' have proved to be better predictors of lifespan and health than chronological age. In a new study, Yale researchers used one such clock, appropriately named "GrimAge," to ask two questions: How much does chronic stress accelerate that biological clock? And are there ways to slow it down and extend a healthy lifespan? |
| Oops! You did it again; new test predicts if impulsivity is pathological Posted: 06 Dec 2021 07:00 PM PST If you can't stop saying or doing things that you later regret, here's a diagnostic test for you: Researchers have pioneered a way to better determine when acting on one's worst impulses verges on pathological. Turns out, acting more recklessly when your emotions run high can be correlated with how fast you react to stimulating visuals, especially disturbing ones. |
| Minimal effort required: A ten-minute run can boost brain processing Posted: 06 Dec 2021 08:30 AM PST Researchers found that as little as ten minutes of moderate-intensity running could benefit mental health. In study participants, both mood and cognitive functions improved, and the activation of bilateral prefrontal subregions associated with cognitive function and mood also increased. These results demonstrate the potential advantages of exercise prescriptions for various conditions including mental health treatment. |
| The sunshine vitamin that ‘D’elivers on cardio health Posted: 06 Dec 2021 08:30 AM PST Free from the sun, vitamin D delivers a natural source for one of the hormones essential to our bodies, especially the bones. But when you're down on this essential nutrient, it's not only your bones that could suffer, but also your cardio health, according to new research. |
| For cardiovascular disease patients, more physical activity may be better, research suggests Posted: 02 Dec 2021 11:14 AM PST Moderate to vigorous physical activity is associated with risk reductions of non-communicable diseases and mortality. However, whether cardiovascular health status affects the relationship between physical activity and health outcomes is unknown. A new study suggests that while risk reduction for healthy individuals plateaus at higher levels of physical activity, those with cardiovascular disease have no upper limit of physical activity beyond which there is no further benefit. |
