La mejor manera de volver a hacer ejercicio después de las fiestas

Redacción BBC Mundo.2 enero 2015

Con el amanecer de un nuevo año son muchas las personas que se proponen hacer ejercicio.

Llegó enero y con el nuevo año también llegó el momento de cumplir con las promesas que fueron surgiendo después de cada comida o noche de fiesta durante la época navideña.

Pero tratar de perder los kilos de más y recuperar la forma física no debe ser cuestión de levantarse este fin de semana y salir a correr desaforadamente.
Los expertos en preparación física advierten que volver a hacer ejercicio después de semanas de exceso de comida y bebidas alcohólicas debe ser de una manera paulatina, además de que se deben establecer objetivos realistas a largo y corto plazo para mantener la motivación.

Es importante establecer objetivos realistas para no perder la motivación. Es el caso del exatleta olímpico británico y consultor en la ciencia del deporte Greg Whyte, quien compartió con la BBC algunos consejos para poder cumplir con los propósitos de Año Nuevo.
"Lo primero es visualizar lo que se quiere hacer, cuál es el reto que quieres alcanzar. Escríbelo en un papel y busca información de cómo lograrlo", explicó.
"Es bueno tratar de compararte, saber lo que otras personas hicieron y cómo lo hicieron. Hay mucha información en internet. Hay muchas aplicaciones que también te pueden ayudar, que sirven para cruzar esa primera barrera de lo qué es y no es posible", recomienda Whyte.

Nordic Walking Benefits, ADHD and Diet, Supplements and Cancer, Sources of Fiber

A Better Way To Walk: Nordic Walking Improves Quality of Life, Depression, and Functional Capacity SciTechDaily Reference: “Sustained Effects of Different Exercise Modalities on Physical and Mental Health in Patients With Coronary Artery Disease: A Randomized ... Dietary Interventions for ADHD: Emerging Research and Considerations There has been increasing interest in the role that diet and supplements play in the treatment of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) symptoms, from patients and researchers alike. Diet is an important treatment approach to consider, as it is a lifestyle change rather than a medication. Additionally, at least 10% to 30% of children with ADHD are non-responsive to, or experience adverse effects from, ADHD medications.1 A dietary approach to ADHD can be complementary to a conventional pharmacological approach, giving patients and their families more options toward a personalized treatment plan. This article will examine current research about di

More People Are Microdosing for Mental Health. But Does It Work?

By Dana G Smith. Joseph started microdosing psychedelics five years ago to try to improve his mental health. “I was just kind of in this depression, in this rut,” he said. “I was unhappy and angry and agitated all the time, and it went against the way that I saw myself.” Depression and anxiety run in Joseph’s family, and he’d been prescribed Prozac as a kid. But when symptoms of depression returned in his early 30s, he didn’t want to go back to a prescription drug. Joseph, an Austin-based designer (he asked to withhold his full name, citing privacy concerns surrounding mental health issues and illegal drug use), came across research from Johns Hopkins University about psilocybin, the active ingredient in hallucinogenic, or “magic,” mushrooms. In a small study, full doses of the drug helped cancer patients cope with depression and anxiety. Then he read anecdotes of Silicon Valley influencers claiming increased energy from taking tiny doses of psychedelics. So he decided to start microdo

Exploring the Link Between Circadian Rhythms, Longevity, and Wearable Data: Insights and Future Directions

A recent study in NHANES 2011–2014 explores the potential connection between disruptions in circadian rhythms, measured using wearable devices, and their impact on health outcomes and longevity. The study analyzes data from 7,297 U.S. adults collected through wearable accelerometers as a novel digital biomarker for longevity. Five distinct clusters were identified based on activity profiles: "High activity," "Low activity," "Mild circadian rhythm (CR) disruption," "Severe CR disruption," and "Very low activity." The findings reveal that young adults with extreme circadian rhythm disturbance exhibit higher white blood cell counts and accelerated biological aging. Older adults with circadian disruption are associated with increased systemic inflammation indexes, advanced biological aging, and higher all-cause mortality risk. The research underscores the importance of circadian alignment for longevity at all ages and suggests that wearable
