La meditación mejora la salud

La metidacíón, o acallar el diálogo interno, es una fantástica forma de proveerse de salud y calmar inquietudes tanto físicas como psicológicas. La simple práctica de "dejar de pensar" tiene efectos muy positivos en la salud si se la realiza sólo unos minutos al día.

14/05/2012| 14:06 CIUDAD DE BUENOS AIRES (Urgente24) - Unos minutos de meditación diaria en un estado de 'silencio mental' permitirían a las personas ser más eficaces y mejorar la salud psíquica, se destaca en un estudio de científicos australianos.

Los investigadores de la Universidad de Sídney (Australia) analizaron más de 350 personas que practicaron meditaciones durante más de dos años y saben sumirse en un estado de 'silencio mental' o de desapego de pensamientos y sensaciones. Los especialistas los interrogaron acerca de cuantas veces al día lo hacían y cuánto tiempo permanecían en ese estado.

Los psicólogos compararon la salud de los participantes del estudio con la de los australianos que no practican meditaciones. Resultó que la meditación completa no mejoró tanto la salud como sí lo hicieron unos pocos minutos de silencio mental. Las personas que experimentaron este tipo de meditación resultaron un 10% más sanas que otras. Las conclusiones del estudio fueron publicadas en la revista 'Evidence-Based Complementary and Alternative Medicine'.

Se cree que este estado calma el alma y produce un equilibrio entre el mundo interior y exterior que rodea a una persona. Ahora los psicólogos han probado el valor de la práctica del silencio mental y han demostrado que esto ayuda a concentrarse, arreglar los pensamientos y evitar el estrés personal y laboral de una manera muy rápida y eficaz.

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 ...

Catch of the Day: Hypnosis, Fibromyalgia, IBD, Gut Microbiota, Aging

Hypnosis as a Tool for Managing Fibromyalgia Pain "Harnessing Hypnosis: A Promising Approach to Tackle Fibromyalgia Pain" Fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS) is a complex condition characterized by widespread musculoskeletal pain, fatigue, sleep disturbances, and emotional challenges. The exact cause of FMS is not fully understood, but there's evidence suggesting a link between childhood/adulthood abuse or neglect and its development. Treating FMS can be difficult due to its resistance to most treatments. However, a recent review suggests that hypnotherapy, a psychological intervention, could be effective in managing FMS pain. This technique aims to reduce pain, fatigue, sleep problems, anxiety, and depression by using hypnosis to address emotional conflicts and unresolved traumas associated with FMS. This non-invasive approach might offer relief to those struggling with fibromyalgia. De Benedittis G. The Challenge of Fibromyalgia Efficacy of Hypnosis in Alleviating the Invisibl...
