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 ...

Sweetener Reformulated Biscuits: A Step Towards Blood Glucose Control

In a recent study led by Catherine Gibbons from the University of Leeds, the effects of sweetener reformulated biscuits on appetite and endocrine responses in adults with overweight or obesity were evaluated. This study, conducted between 2021 and 2022 in England and France, sheds light on the potential benefits of substituting sucrose with sweeteners like neotame and stevia rebaudioside M (StRebM). The findings suggest that while the reformulated biscuits yielded similar appetite responses compared to sucrose-sweetened ones, they demonstrated a significant advantage in terms of post-meal insulin and glucose levels. Participants consuming biscuits with neotame and StRebM experienced lower postprandial insulin levels compared to those consuming sucrose, indicating a potential positive impact on blood glucose control. This is particularly noteworthy in the context of individuals at risk of developing type 2 diabetes. However, it's essential to acknowledge the limitations highlighted ...
