From May 2020Vidcast:  https://www.instagram.com/p/DT6HO5kjrwe/As our house arrest continues, we all yearn for anything to improve our outlooks on life.  Researchers at Iowa State University studied 423 young adults 20 to 35 years of age surveying their moods and quantitating their physical activities over 10 days using wearable sensors. Almost anything is better than sitting around.  Replacing prolonged sedentary time with light physical activity, moderate physical activity, or even sleep leads to mood elevation.  Stimulating your mind and body, even with subconscious activity and dreams, will reset and refresh your brain.  If you find yourself sitting around for more than 30 minutes, get up and get physical.  Light physical activities include walking around your home cleaning, washing dishes, or cooking. https://www.ajpmonline.org/article/S0749-3797(20)30136-7/pdf #pandemic #quarantine #sedentary #sleep #cleaning

From May 2020Vidcast:  https://www.instagram.com/p/DT6GsiJDhL-/Women with a miscarriage history attempting to get pregnant may lose the fetus to aggressive exercising even before they know they are pregnant.  Epidemiologists at UMass-Amherst studied 785 high risk pregnancies in young women with one or two previous miscarriages. Seven percent of the women suffered yet another miscarriage just as their pregnancy was establishing.  Those who lost their fetus at the time it would be implanting, the risk of loss was two-fold greater in those women pursuing moderate or intense exercise regimens. If you have a history of miscarriage, avoid any excessive exercise during the first month even before you know you are pregnant. https://www.fertstert.org/article/S0015-0282(19)32497-5/fulltext #pregnancy #miscarriage #miscarriage

From Sept 2022Vidcast: https://www.instagram.com/p/DT6FxxngCbU/Walking with your crying baby will induce calm and promote sleep better than merely sitting and holding the child.  Japanese social scientists report this conclusion after studying the responses of 21 infants as their moms tried to calm them and induce their sleep by either walking them, sitting with them, or placing them in a crib with or without rocking. Walking the babies calmed them and induced slower heart rates within 30 seconds, and the effects worked best when the holding and walking continued for 5 minutes.  Almost half the babies fell asleep.  Problem is, if the baby is laid down in the crib or bassinet after the 5 minutes, one-third awaken.  By holding the babe for another 8 minutes after the 5 minute walk, they will fall asleep and stay that way. https://www.cell.com/current-biology/fulltext/S0960-9822(22)01363-X?_returnURL=https%3A%2F%2Flinkinghub.elsevier.com%2Fretrieve%2Fpii%2FS096098222201363X%3Fshowall%3Dtrue#%20 #infants #sleep #

From Jan 2023Vidcast:  https://www.instagram.com/p/DT6DzIGDiPW/Those with a strong handgrip have a 26% lower risk of depression as years go by.  This the conclusion after a study of 115,600 older Europeans living in 24 different countries over a 7 year period.   The investigators found a dose-response relationship between handgrip power and risk of depression for both men and women.  The association seemed somewhat stronger for women than for men.  The association may be due to the fact that physical strength is an indicator of an overall level of health and well-being.  Then too, those who firmly grip the hands of those they meet is an indication of a positivity that cascades through through their social and work lives. https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/the-british-journal-of-psychiatry/article/doseresponse-association-of-handgrip-strength-and-risk-of-depression-a-longitudinal-study-of-115-601-older-adults-from-24-countries/5D9FF0D78CF22036C3F4FF2A593F8F64 #handgrip #strength #depression #positivity
