Facebook podría resultar difícil para los usuarios con una autoestima baja

Inundar a los amigos con detalles negativos sobre su vida hace que el 'publicador' resulte menos agradable, halla un estudio

Robert Preidt. Traducido del inglés: miércoles, 8 de febrero, 2012. MARTES, 7 de febrero (HealthDay News) -- Usar Facebook puede ser malo para las personas con una autoestima baja, sugiere un estudio reciente.

Investigadores canadienses hallaron que las personas con una autoestima baja ahogan a sus amigos de Facebook con detalles negativos sobre sus vidas, lo que hace que resulten menos agradables.

Los hallazgos, que aparecen en la edición en línea del 7 de febrero de la revista Psychological Science, fueron inesperados, según los investigadores.

Muchas personas con una baja autoestima se sienten incómodas al compartir sus pensamientos y sentimientos cara a cara, pero Facebook les permite hacerlo remotamente, explicó la autora del estudio Amanda Forest, estudiante de postgrado de la Universidad de Waterloo, en Ontario.

"Teníamos la idea de que Facebook podría ser un lugar realmente fantástico para fortalecer sus relaciones", señaló Forest en un comunicado de prensa de la revista.

Sin embargo, aunque las personas con una autoestima baja podrían sentirse más seguras al hacer revelaciones personales en Facebook, hacerlo podría en realidad causarles un daño social.

"Si usted está hablando con alguien en persona y dice algo, podría recibir alguna indicación de que no les agrada, de que está harto de escuchar su negatividad", comentó Forest.

Pero cuando las personas tienen una reacción negativa a una publicación de Facebook, tienden a no divulgarla.

"En Facebook, uno no ve la mayoría de las reacciones", advirtió Forest.

Brain health. Promising prebiotics and probiotics combination

According to new research, the bacteria in our gut, known as gut microbiota, play an important role in brain injury and healing after a stroke. Taking particular types of prebiotics and probiotics can help with brain injury, inflammation, gut bacteria imbalances, and intestinal health. However, we still don't know whether prebiotics, probiotics, or synbiotics (a combination of both) perform best for particular conditions, or how they operate. In this study, scientists tested a new synbiotic formulation containing multiple strains of probiotics Lactobacillus reuteri UBLRu-87 Lactobacillus plantarum UBLP-40 Lactobacillus rhamnosus UBLR-58 Lactobacillus salivarius UBLS-22 Bifidobacterium breve UBBr-01 and prebiotic fructooligosaccharides (FOS)  FOS are extracted from the blue agave plant and fruits and vegetables such as bananas, onions, chicory root, garlic, asparagus, jícama, and leeks. Some grains and cereals, such as wheat and barley, also contain FOS. The Jerusalem artichoke and ...

Light Therapy holds promise as a treatment for Alzheimer's Disease

A new article, conducted by Lili Zang and colleagues from Weifang Medical University School of Nursing in Shandong Province, China, discusses a meta-analysis of 15 high-quality trials that investigated the impact of light therapy on individuals with Alzheimer’s disease (AD). The meta-analysis included 598 patients with mild to moderate Alzheimer’s disease, and it covered 15 randomized controlled trials conducted in seven different countries. Those trials were published between 2005 and 2022. Sleep Improvement Light therapy led to significant improvements in several sleep measures. It notably enhanced sleep efficiency, increased interdaily stability, and reduced intradaily variability, all of which are indicators of better sleep quality. Light therapy was associated with a reduction in agitation, depression, and caregiver burden among individuals with Alzheimer’s disease. A significant advantage over usual care was shown in reducing the severity of psychobehavioral symptoms, as assessed...
