La falta de sueño anula los beneficios del ejercicio para el cerebro, advierte un estudio

Published Thu, 26 Dec 2024 18:47:56 GMT

(CNN) — Una de las formas más importantes para mantenerte saludable es haciendo ejercicio: se ha demostrado que ayuda a prevenir enfermedades crónicas, alargar la vida, evitar la demencia, ralentizar el deterioro cognitivo y mucho más.Sin embargo, la cantidad de horas de sueño que duermas puede ser igual de importante, al menos en lo que se refiere a los beneficios del ejercicio y al funcionamiento del cerebro a medida que envejeces.Un nuevo estudio descubrió que las personas con una actividad física más frecuente y de mayor intensidad que dormían de media menos de seis horas por noche presentaban un deterioro cognitivo general más rápido que las que dormían poco y hacían ejercicio con poca frecuencia.“Nuestro estudio sugiere que puede ser necesario dormir lo suficiente para obtener todos los beneficios cognitivos de la actividad física”, afirmó la autora principal, la Dra. Mikaela Bloomberg, investigadora del Instituto de Epidemiología y Atención Sanitaria del Uni...

Uno de los rituales más comunes de las fechas patrias es cocinar locro, un plato ideal para el invierno austral.

Why boost in Chesapeake Bay grasses is good news for crab lovers

Published Thu, 26 Dec 2024 18:47:56 GMT

The grasses in the waters of the Chesapeake Bay play a big role in the survival strategies of blue crabs, and a recent survey shows the number of acres of bay grasses is up 12%.That’s good news for the life cycle of blue crabs — and for people who like to eat them. The grasses provide cover for juvenile crabs, allowing them to avoid predators.But as Doug Myers, the Maryland senior scientist with the Chesapeake Bay Foundation, explains, the grasses in the lower bay — eel grass, in particular — are critical for mating crabs as well.In order to mate, Myers said the female crab molts so her shell is soft. Just as the eel grass provides hiding places for young crabs, it provides added protection for the adult crabs as the mating process is underway.Bay grasses are also critical to the populations of waterfowl that feed on them in areas such as the Susquehanna Flats near Havre de Grace.According to the latest survey by the Virginia Institute of Marine Science, 76,400 acres of bay grasses ...

LAS VEGAS (AP) — Damian Lillard’s position has not and will not change: The seven-time All-Star wants to be traded to the Miami Heat.Lillard’s agent, Aaron Goodwin, confirmed that stance Thursday and said he hopes that the Portland Trail Blazers — the team that Lillard has spent the entirety of his 11-year NBA career with — can engage with the Heat on steps toward a deal in the coming days, especially with virtually everyone from the NBA gathering in Las Vegas for Summer League that starts on Friday.The Trail Blazers publicly revealed this past weekend that Lillard had asked for a trade, an announcement that ended weeks of speculation about his future in Portland.

How many Coloradans are back on the hook for student loans?
