    New Study Finds Anxiety May Double the Risk of Developing Parkinson's Disease in People Over 50

    Broke On: Tuesday, 25 June 2024 New research indicates that individuals over 50 with anxiety have a higher risk of developing Parkinson's disease, according to a study published in the British Journal of General Practice. The findings suggest that those with anxiety are twice as likely to develop the neurodegenerative disorder, even after accounting for age and other factors. Further investigation is required to understand how anxiety relates to early symptoms and progression of Parkinson's disease.

    New Discoveries Reveal Compassionate Side of Neanderthals: Care for a Child with Down Syndrome 273,000 Years Ago

    Broke On: Thursday, 27 June 2024 A Neanderthal child with Down syndrome, named Tina, lived to age 6 despite severe hearing loss and imbalance problems in Spain 273,000 years ago. Researchers discovered abnormalities associated with Down syndrome from her inner ear reconstruction. The demanding lifestyle of Neanderthals suggests they provided extensive care based on altruism rather than reciprocation.

    Internet Addiction Disrupts Neural Networks in Adolescents: UCL Study

    Broke On: Tuesday, 04 June 2024 A study published in PLOS Mental Health reveals that internet addiction disrupts neural networks in adolescents, potentially leading to negative behavioral and developmental changes such as relationship struggles, lying about online activity, irregular eating patterns, and disrupted sleep. The research by University College London (UCL) found that teenagers with internet addiction exhibit significant disruptions in brain regions involved in attention, planning, decision-making when engaging in activities governed by the executive control network.
  • Gut Microbiome's Role in Fairness Perception and Social Decision-Making: Insights from Recent Studies

    Gut Microbiome's Role in Fairness Perception and Social Decision-Making: Insights from Recent Studies

    Broke On: Tuesday, 14 May 2024 Recent studies reveal that manipulating gut bacteria through probiotics and prebiotics can influence fairness perception and social decision-making. Participants who took Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium supplements were more likely to reject unfair offers, with changes in gut microbiota composition correlating with fairness sensitivity. Another study found that a high ratio of Firmicutes to Bacteroidetes was linked to increased altruistic punishment. These findings suggest the gut microbiome shapes social behavior and open possibilities for targeted interventions.

    Mid-Age Women: Boost Physical and Mental Health with Regular Exercise

    Broke On: Thursday, 02 May 2024 New research published in the journal PLOS Medicine reveals that women in their middle age who meet or begin to meet the World Health Organization's physical activity guidelines report higher perceived physical and mental health scores than those who don't. The studies followed thousands of Australian women over a 15-year period and found that maintaining an active lifestyle in mid-age could have significant benefits for overall health later in life.

    Anger's Impact on Blood Vessels: A New Look at the Connection to Cardiovascular Diseases

    Broke On: Wednesday, 01 May 2024 Anger's Impact on Cardiovascular Health: Recent studies reveal anger specifically impairs blood vessel dilation, increasing the risk of heart attacks and strokes. Recalling angry memories causes temporary impairment in blood vessel function for up to 40 minutes, while negative emotions like anxiety and sadness have no effect. Repeated episodes of anger may cause irreversible damage over time.

    The Power of Physical Activity in Natural Environments: Preventing Non-Communicable Diseases and Boosting Mental Health

    Broke On: Tuesday, 30 April 2024 A recent study in JAMA Pediatrics reveals that improved physical fitness in children and adolescents is linked to lower rates of mental health disorders, including anxiety, depression, and ADHD. Another study in Environment International highlights the importance of natural environments for preventing non-communicable diseases like heart disease, diabetes, cancer, and depression. Engaging in regular exercise in natural settings can save healthcare costs by preventing thousands of cases annually.
