Exercise is the Answer to Depression

This is another way that fitness & rehabilitation professionals can help.

Getting people moving helps with depression and decrease the risk of heart diseas in those that are depressed.

The researchers suggested that doctors need to suggest starting an exercise program.

This does not work.

A solution needs to be found on doctors suggesting starting an exercise program and people starting an exercise program.

Doctors refer patients to specialist, for MRIs and massage therapy. Doctors need to do the same with an exercise program.

"Go see Rick. He will get you on an exercise program and help with your depression."

Suggesting won't change anything.

Lack of Exercise Explains Depression-Heart Link
November 26, 2008 - New York Times

For years cardiologists and mental health experts have known that depression raises risk for heart attack by 50 percent or more.

But what hasn’t been clear is why depressed people have more heart problems. Does depression cause some biological change that increases risk? Does the inflammatory process that leads to heart disease also trigger depression?

The answer may be far simpler. A new study suggests that people who are depressed are simply less likely to exercise, a finding that explains their dramatically higher risk for heart problems.

Surrey Kinesiologist States that "Fat Kids Lead to Fat Adults"

This article scares me.

The picture in the article almost made me puke.

This has been a huge motivation for me to start running again.

My son is one years old and I know that I am the example he sees.

If I sit on my rear, he will sit on his rear.

If I eat crap, he will eat crap.

I hope you are not eating when you read this article.

Obese Children Have Arteries of 45-year-olds, Study Finds
Wednesday, November 12th 2008 - by The Associated Press

NEW ORLEANS - Obese children as young as 10 had the arteries of 45-year-olds and other heart abnormalities greatly increasing their risk of heart disease, say doctors who used ultrasound tests to take a peek inside.

The studies, reported Tuesday at an American Heart Association conference, found about a third of American children are overweight and one-fifth are obese.

Many parents think "baby fat" will melt away as kids getolder. But research increasingly shows fat kids become fat adults, with higher risks for many health problems.

Junk Food is the New Killer

Eating a diet high in fried food, salty snacks, and meat intake increases your risk of heart attacks. This is an important message but will never get out. It will be a conversation between researcher because the message sold over out televisions, is fried food is good.

Junk Food Causes a Third of Heart Attacks

Monday, October 20, 2008 - Reuters

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Diets heavy in fried foods, salty snacks and meat account for about 35 percent of heart attacks globally, researchers reported on Monday.

Their study of 52 countries showed that people who ate a "Western" diet based on meat, eggs and junk food were more likely to have heart attacks, while those who ate more fruits and vegetables had a lower risk.

The study supports previous findings that show junk food and animal fats can cause heart disease, and especially heart attacks.

People That Don't Drink or Exercise Have An Increase Risk of Heart Disease

This is an interesting study.

They say there are positive benefits if someone consume alcohol (1 to 2 drinks) and exercises.

The researcher reported that low levels of alcohol help increase healthy cholesterol.

Work Out and Drink Up

Time - by A. Chris Gajilan

If you want to live a long and healthy life, you're probably trying to eat right, exercise regularly and get enough sleep. Good steps. Now how about adding a little alcohol to your regimen?

That's right. It is well documented that tossing a few drinks back in a week (and that means a few: up to one a day for women, up to two for men) has potential heart benefits. But researchers in Denmark decided to look further. Could drinking alcohol have a benefit similar to that of exercise?

There are a number of reasons a drink can be such a tonic. First, alcohol and exercise affect your heart health in similar ways. "They help increase good cholesterol, or HDL [high-density lipoproteins], and clean the circulatory system's pipes," says Dr. Arthur Klatsky, a cardiologist and researcher at Kaiser Permanente Northern California. "HDL helps remove fatty deposits, created by bad cholesterol, or LDL [low-density lipoproteins], from blood-vessel walls. The higher the HDL, the less likely vascular disease becomes. The lower the HDL, the more likely."

Running Maybe the New Drug Fighting Cancer and Heart Disease

I love to run.

I hear a lot of reason why one should not run but this is a great reason to run.

Does Running Slow the Aging Clock?

The Canadian Press – August 12, 2008

Regular running appears to reduce the risk not only of heart disease, but also delay cancer and other illnesses, according to a study that began tracking people over the age of 50 back in 1984. People who ran an average of about four hours a week when the study started were compared with a control group of healthy people who weren't regular runners. After 21 years of follow-up, researchers have found that everyone has more ailments, but the onset of such problems began later for the runners.

The Strain of Care Giving Increases Risk of Heart Disease

Cardiac Caregivers Face Increased Heart Risk: study

March 13, 2008 - CBC News

The stress of nursing a family member with a serious heart ailment can lead to heart disease for the caregiver, a study suggests.

Those who provide all or most of a cardiac patient's care had higher levels of risk factors for heart disease than non-caregivers, researchers in the United States say.

As well, those who reported higher caregiver strain after six months were more likely to be depressed than those who provided less or no care.
