Good Sleep, Healthy Diet, Regular Exercise Associated With Better Mental Well-Being In Young Adults,

a study found that “young adults who slept better were more likely to have a healthier mind, according to results from three studies performed in the U.S., U.K. and New Zealand.” Furthermore, “eating more fruits and veggies and working out more often also appeared to contribute to a person’s mental well-being.” Altogether, these three lifestyle factors “appear to be independent of one another, but also additive, researchers found. In other words, the more of them a person pursues, the bigger the benefit to their mental well-being.” Researchers said in a news release, “Sleeping a little better, eating a little healthier, or exercising even for 10 minutes longer than you normally do was associated with improvements to how you feel that day.” With that said, they “noted that these were observational studies, and as such can’t prove a direct cause-and-effect link between healthy habits and better well-being.” The study was published in PLOS One.

Healthy lifestyles are a cornerstone of optimal physical health, yet their contribution to optimal mental health is still an open question. This article investigated the relationships between three key health behaviors—sleep quality, physical activity, and dietary choices—and psychological well-...

Staying Active Might Slow Brain Changes Associated With Parkinson’s Disease, Study Suggests
—- a study suggests that “staying active might slow the brain changes associated with Parkinson’s disease.” Researchers “used MRI scans to track changes in brain structure, with every patient receiving at least two scans.” They observed that patients with early Parkinson’s “who were more physically active maintained larger sizes in their temporal and parietal cortex, hippocampus and amygdala – brain regions associated with memory, attention and mood.” Results show that they “also performed better on memory and thinking tests, especially regarding verbal memory and attention.” Regardless, “researchers noted that the study could not prove a cause-and-effect link between physical activity and progression of Parkinson’s, given its design.” The study was published in Neurology.

Background and ObjectivesAccumulating evidence suggests that physical activity is associated with a better clinical and cognitive course in Parkinson disease (PD), yet whether these effects are subserved by structural brain alterations are largely ...
