Madrugar es un suplicio para muchos, pero podría tener sus ventajas, sobre todo en relación a la depresión. Así lo sugiere un amplio estudio genético publicado en la revista JAMA Psychiatry, que apunta que despertarse solo una hora antes podría reducir en un 23% el riesgo de padecer depresión grave.
El estudio, realizado sobre 850.000 personas por investigadores de la Universidad de Colorado Boulder, el Instituto Tecnológico de Massachusetts y Harvard (EEUU) representa una de las pruebas más sólidas hasta ahora de que el cronotipo (propensión de una persona a dormir a una hora determinada) influye en el riesgo de tener depresión.

Spezielles Krafttraining genauso effektiv wie Bluthochdruckmittel?
Bluthochdruck ist ein extrem weit verbreitetes Beschwerdebild und gilt als Hauptrisikofaktor Herz-Kreislauf-Erkrankungen wie Schlaganfälle und Herzinfarkte, die ihrerseits eine der häufigste Todesursache in Deutschland bilden. In einer aktuellen Studie wurde nun deutlich, das mit einem speziellen fünfminütigen Krafttraining Bluthochdruck effektiv gesenkt werden kann.
Mit Hilfe des inspiratorischen Muskelkrafttrainings (High-Resistance Inspiratory Muscle Strength Training; IMST) kann Bluthochdruck ähnlich effektiv gesenkt werden kann, wie mit einem ausgiebigen Sportprogramm oder Bluthochdruckmedikamenten, berichten Forschende der University of Colorado Boulder von ihren Studienergebnissen. Veröffentlicht wurden diese in dem „Journal of the American Heart Association“.
While fireworks are a traditional part of Fourth of July celebrations, Colorado officials continue to remind people not to use flammable materials of any kind this year, as the entire state is under the most severe form of drought.
“They’re predicting extreme drought conditions throughout the year, and this has been a pattern for quite a while at this point,” Steamboat Springs Fire Rescue Chief Chuck Cerasoli said. “Large complex fires are one of our biggest concerns in the area.”
Even though Steamboat firefighters are not currently assisting with the Muddy Slide Fire in South Routt County, Cerasoli said the department is still strapped thin, as it has a small staff and is tasked with both the city’s fire and emergency medical needs.
