ISLAMABAD: People who practice different types of physical training methods experience better health outcomes and extended lifespan according to research findings.
A study published in BMG Medicine showed that people who engaged in multiple exercise activities which included running and cycling and yoga and weight training and gardening and various outdoor activities experienced lower death rates.
The researchers used data from two long-term studies which followed more than 111000 participants through the Nurses Health Study and the Health Professionals Follow-Up Study for more than 30 years.
The study investigated different exercise methods which included cardio workouts and low-intensity activities and strength training and vigorous exercise and moderate-to-high intensity outdoor work.
The research results revealed that most physical activities reduced the likelihood of death. The study found that swimming did not show any relationship between exercise and decreased death rates to the same extent as other exercises.
People who performed multiple physical activities showed lower mortality rates which reached up to 19 percent. Their risk of dying from heart disease respiratory illness cancer and other causes was reduced by 13 to 14 percent.
Experts recommend people need to maintain regular physical activity while their exercise programs should include different activities which benefit their physical and mental health.
Daily egg consumption linked to surprising brain benefits, study finds
Moreover, eggs are not only a delicious and nutritious breakfast option but also play a significant role in promoting brain health, according to recent research.
The Journal of Aging and Disease published a study that demonstrates that eggs can slow down brain aging and enhance health through their choline content. Choline serves as an essential brain function nutrient and its absence results in multiple cognitive impairments.
The study determined that obese individuals possessed lower choline blood levels than people who maintained a healthy body weight. Researchers described how choline deficiency results in insulin resistance, inflammation and liver failure which heightens the likelihood of developing Alzheimer’s disease together with other brain disorders.
The study discovered that choline levels decreased during a time period that preceded Alzheimer’s symptoms by several years. This finding demonstrates that sufficient choline consumption functions as a protective measure against neurodegenerative disorders.
Researchers conducted a comparison between data sets that included young obese persons and elderly people who experienced cognitive decline. The study found that metabolic stress which occurs during youth creates brain health problems that persist into adulthood.
The researchers require additional research on the link between dietary choices and cognitive performance because they have not yet achieved absolute results. Preliminary evidence indicates that choline-rich foods which include eggs, liver, cabbage, seeds, peanuts, meat, chicken, fish and dairy products provide brain health and metabolic health advantages.
