La inactividad física, el tabaquismo, el consumo de alcohol y la mala alimentación resultan una combinación letal

Los autores del estudio se han centrado en los estilos de vida que suman varios de estos malos hábitos en un mismo individuo, encontrando que entonces el riesgo se multiplica.

Martes 27 abril 2010 por Ana en: Alimentación Ciencia EcoConsejos Pausa del café Salud La inactividad física, el tabaquismo, el consumo de alcohol y la mala alimentación resultan una combinación letal. De acuerdo con un nuevo estudio, se trata de cuatro comportamientos no saludables que al sumarse aumentan el riesgo de muerte.

O, lo que es lo mismo, hacer ejercicio físico moderado, insistir con las frutas y verduras, olvidarse del cigarrillo y de las copitas de más es una buena fórmula para vivir más y mejor. Porque, según ha revelado dicha investigación, estas conductas no saludables están asociadas con un riesgo sustancialmente mayor de muerte cuando se combinan.

El estudio, publicado el 26 de abril en la publicación Archives of Internal Medicina, se apoya en los resultados de varias investigaciones que han demostrado que determinadas costumbres, como las mencionadas, están asociadas con mayores probabilidades de padecer enfermedades cardiovasculares, muerte prematura y cánceres.

Los autores del estudio se han centrado en los estilos de vida que suman varios de estos malos hábitos en un mismo individuo, encontrando que entonces el riesgo se multiplica.

Bajo la dirección de Elisabeth Kvaavik, científicos de la Universidad de Oslo, en Noruega, entrevistaron a alrededor de 1.500 personas y calificaron sus conductas poco saludables, en cuestiones como tabaquismo, ingesta frutas y verduras menos de tres veces al día, la práctica de deporte inferior a dos horas semanales o el consumo semanal de de más de 14 raciones de alcohol en mujeres o más de 21 en hombres.

Hicieron un seguimiento de estas personas, y durante las siguientes dos décadas, 1.080 participantes muriero: 431 por enfermedades cardiovasculares, 318 por cáncer y 331 por otras causas.

La conclusión es impactante: Los individuos que practicaban cuatro malos hábitos, en comparación con los que tenían cero comportamientos poco saludables, sufrieron tres veces más riesgo de morir de enfermedad cardiovascular o cáncer, cuatro veces el riesgo de morir por otras causas y un riesgo de mortalidad prematura equivalente a 12 años.

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
