En la vida, cierta adversidad parece ayudar a desarrollar la resistencia


Una encuesta encuentra que las personas que se enfrentaban a una cantidad moderada de adversidad en sus vidas informaban sobre mayor bienestar


MIÉRCOLES, 20 de octubre (HealthDay News/HolaDoctor) -- En la vida, cierta adversidad puede beneficiar la salud mental al fortalecer la adaptabilidad y la resistencia, según sugiere un estudio reciente.

Los investigadores analizaron datos de 2,398 personas que participaron en una encuesta nacional cada año de 2001 a 2004. Los que experimentaron algunos eventos adversos informaorn sobre mejor salud mental y bienestar que los expuestos a altos niveles o a ninguna adversidad.

"Nuestros hallazgos revelaron que una historia de cierta adversidad en la vida (en relación tanto con la ausencia como con mucha adversidad) predecían una angustia emocional global más baja, menos impedimentos en la función, menos síntomas [de estrés postraumático] y una mayor satisfacción con la vida", aseguró en un comunicado de prensa de la Universidad de Búfalo Mark Seery, profesor asistente de psicología de la universidad.

Seery y colegas también encontraron que las personas con antecedentes de cierta adversidad en la vida parecían manejar mejor que otras personas los eventos adversos recientes.

"Aunque estudiamos las adversidades importantes de la vida, hay motivos para creer que otras experiencias relativamente mundanas deben también contribuir a la resistencia", aseguró Seery. "Esto sugiere que intervenciones psicoterapéuticas diseñadas con cuidado podrían también hacerlo, aunque aún queda mucho trabajo por hacer para comprender del todo la resistencia y de dónde proviene".

Los hallazgos aparecen en la edición en línea de octubre como adelanto de su publicación en una próxima edición impresa de la revista Journal of Personality and Social Psychology.

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
