studies that help us in our daily lives! And today I come to show you the result of a very interesting study, you’ll see.
This is a study done for 12 years in 2600 adults over 60 years, and was to find out the relationship between cardiovascular health status and measures of body fat, body mass index and measurement waist. But even more curious is the result since it was observed that people who died during that time had poorer health and more cardiovascular risk factors without affecting the weight of it.
So the studio has finalized it does not matter if an older person is obese or not, the most important thing is to do some physical activity, and a sedentary lifestyle is far worse than obesity. Walking 30 minutes daily is enough.
Tips for not giving up physical activity
Many times when we decided to start with a physical activity, lack of motivation, and achievement of reach that we propose to make this activity quickly leave aside, since this is a major cause of frustration, for this not to happen, we propose:
* Choose an activity you a pleasant, if instead, choose one that seems to be more effective but does not match our tastes, with the passing of the days will be very difficult to maintain.
* Do not try too hard and expect ultra immediate results, we know that physical training required of their time, and that the body adjusts gradually. It is important to maintain a regular rhythm and perceive even small achievements.
* Schedule a routine, not to possess it and do the exercises in line with the energies of the day may undermine the regularity we need to get desired accomplishments. Should provide the dates and times for a more active life and thus avoid the risk of leaving it to chance.
* The gym should always be near your home or office, as this will prevent missing, or because it rains, it’s hot and has no means of getting to it is preferable that fit the way, if on the contrary, choose to give biking or taking a walk, and it avoids strategic places where you can be distracted by windows or sit in a bar, thus, maintain a steady march and easier to get what has been proposed.
* Invite a friend or your partner, the company of a loved one can be a good resource to keep motivated and not giving up easily.

Passive smoking, linked to poor mental health in children
The evidence is indicating that parents who smoke should really quit, or at least not to smoke at home. A study published in Archives of Pediatrics & Adolescent Medicine suggests that children who breathe secondhand smoke are more likely to have mental problems, especially hyperactivity and poor behavior.
While the findings add to the urgency to encourage parents to quit, at least within the home, still leaves doubt as to whether snuff smoke really hurts the brains of children or if something else comes into play, said researchers led by Mark Hamer of University College London.
“We know that exposure to secondhand smoke is associated with many physical problems in children, but the cost of mental health has not been explored,” Hamer told Reuters Health.
In the U.S., two of every three children between 3 and 11 years are exposed to secondhand smoke secondhand. Meanwhile, one in five children aged 9 to 17 years has been diagnosed with any mental or addictive disorder, according to the Department of Health and Human Services.
Hamer and his colleagues studied 901 non-smoking British children between 4 and 8 years. Measured their levels of a byproduct of cigarette smoke in saliva for assessing exposure and had their parents complete a questionnaire on emotional, behavioral and social.
On average, the higher the child’s exposure to secondhand smoke, the worse mental health, particularly conduct disorder and hyperactivity, “the study said.
The problem remained even after the experts took into account other factors that could affect mental health such as asthma, physical activity and income and family situations. However, they indicated that other factors can not be excluded. Read the rest of this entry »

Too often I hear “I do not have” time, with a mixture of inexplicable anger and pride, which are characteristic of our mental dirty spirit to escape this time.
