Depression People Sports medicine

People with depression are usually treated with antidepressant medications. Research carried out for 4 years found, the real sufferers of depression medication is ordered for the diligent exercise.

Scientists from the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center found that daily intensive training at the secondary level can work as antidepressants. This type of training required depends on patient characteristics, including gender.

This finding is the result of cooperation of the University of Texas Southwestern psychiatrist with the Cooper Institute in Dallas and sponsored by The National Institute of Mental Health.

Beginning in 2003, this study is one of the first controlled investigation in the United States to show that regular exercise routine combined with targeted drugs, which can actually relieve the symptoms of depressive disorders.

"Many people who take antidepressants and then feel better after starting treatment, but they do not feel completely well or as good as they feel before experiencing depression," said Dr. Madhukar Trivedi, professor of psychiatry who led the study.

"This research shows that exercise can be as effective as adding another drug. Many people prefer to use exercise instead of using additional other drugs, particularly because exercise has proven positive effects on health and well-being of a person as a whole," he said as quoted from eurekalert.org Wednesday (08/24/2011).

Study participants ranged in age 18-70 years and diagnosed with depression but not yet received treatment with antidepressant drugs. They were divided into two groups. Each group was asked to do the exercise with different intensity levels for 12 weeks. Practice sessions supervised by trained staff at the Cooper Institute and coupled with training sessions at home.

Participants who on average have been depressed for the past seven years is asked to exercise on a treadmill, bicycle ergometers, or both. Participants were also asked to write an online diary about the frequency and length of practice sessions, and wearing a heart rate monitor while exercising at home. They also see a psychiatrist during the study.

At the end of the investigation, nearly 30 percent of patients in both groups achieving a full recovery from their depression, while 20 percent showed significant improvement of mental condition based on psychological tests.

Moderate exercise is more effective for women who have a family history of mental illness, whereas intense exercise is more effective for women whose families had no history of disease. For men, heavier workout more effective regardless of other characteristics.

Fish Oil May Relieve Desire to Kill Yourself

Current impasse facing desperate life, one can dare to do anything including suicide. In order to depression and suicidal thoughts can be better controlled, the researchers recommend eating lots of fish oil.

In the depression, omega-3 fatty acids and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) in fish oil could ease the allegedly suicidal ideation. Although not yet confirmed a causal relationship, but people who commit suicide usually lack two essential nutrients such.

This is evidenced in a study in the United States that was published in the Journal of Clinical Psychiatry recently. In that study, researchers make the observation of several cases of suicide were killed retired military or veterans.

Compared to surviving veterans, veterans who commit suicide have been observed levels of DHA and omega-3 fatty acids lower. Based on the analysis, levels of DHA and omega-3 fatty acids lower the risk of suicide increases up to 62 percent.

In conclusion, the scientists did not openly suggest that the veterans increase the consumption of fish oil in order not to get depressed. But admittedly, fish oil and the contents in it most likely have a psychoactive effect.

Some previous studies did show, omega 3 fatty acids either in the form of fish oil supplements and in and nuts have a psychiatric mental health benefits. It's just to associate with suicide prevention, still need further research.

The high rate of suicide among United States military is a separate issue, both of which occur in veterans and officers who are still active. In 2010 for example, there were approximately 159 suicides committed by active duty officers.

"I really hope the research like this, because I am really looking for something as a solution," said Peter Chiarelli, one of the top military brass in the United States, as quoted by USA Today, Tuesday

Eat fish three times a week Can Reduce Stroke Risk

If you want a lot of the risk of stroke, so be diligent eating fish. People who ate fish 2 to 3 times a week had a lower risk of stroke than those who rarely or do not eat fish at all.

This is based on the conclusions of the analysis of 15 studies conducted on 400,000 people aged 30-103 years and followed 4 to 30 years later to see if there are participants who suffer a stroke.

"I think overall, fish provide a lucrative package of nutrients, especially omega-3 that could explain why it can reduce the risk of stroke," said Dr. Dariush Mozaffarian, an epidemiologist at the Harvard School of Public Health, as reported by Health24, Monday (27 / 9 / 2011).

According to Dr Mozaffarian, a lot of evidence that shows that 2 or 3 servings of fish per week is enough to get the properties reduce the risk of stroke by 6 percent.

Data for analysis came from nearly 400,000 people aged 30-103. The study was conducted in the U.S., Europe, Japan and China. During anywhere from a few years to several decades, about 9400 people had a stroke. Eating three servings of fish per week was associated with an extra 6 percent reduction in stroke risk, which translates into one fewer stroke among a hundred people eating an extra fish for a lifetime.

"Omega-3 fatty acids in fish may lower risk of stroke through positive effects on blood pressure and cholesterol. Vitamin D, selenium and certain types of proteins in fish can also reduce the risk of stroke," explained Dr Susanna Larsson and Dr Nicola Orsini from the Karolinska Institutet in Stockholm.

The study was conducted in the U.S., Europe, Japan and China. In any country of a few years to several decades, about 9400 people had a stroke. Eating three servings of fish per week was associated with an extra 6 percent reduction in stroke risk.

And those who ate the most fish (more than 3 times a week) can reduce the risk of stroke by 12 percent compared with those who ate fish less.

Researchers also use a variety of fish to examine whether all the fish can be useful and find that fish and fried fish sandwiches not included may reduce the risk of stroke. Benefits of fish will be lost when processed by frying.

Fatty fish such as salmon and herring are very high content of omega-3. American Heart Association recommends at least two servings of fatty fish per week have been able to alienate people from the risk of stroke.
