Behavioural Correlates Of Successful Weight Reduction Over 3 Y. Results From The Lean Habits Study

Stress Reduction and Mindful Eating Curb Weight Gain Among Overweight Women

Significant differences (P<0.05) were found for flexible control and restriction of quantity of food. At 1y FU, most of the average scores were lower than at 10 week FU, and we found significant differences between the two success-subgroups (P<0.05) for all behavioural dimensions except for rigid control and physical activity. Therefore, we defined 'maintenance of behavioural improvement' if the score for a behavioural characteristic was maintained or further improved from 10 week FU to 1y FU. With the exception of rigid control and restriction of amount of food, the maintenance of behavioural improvement for each of the eight scores was associated with a significantly higher probability of successful weight reduction after 3y ( Table 1 ). The percentage of successful weight reduction increased with the number of behavioural scores for which improvement was maintained and was highest in subjects who maintained five to eight behavioural improvements ( Table 2 ). Top of page Discussion Results show that successful long-term weight reduction is a complex process of behavioural change.

Yoga Improves Sleep For Cancer Patients

Sleeping for between six and eight hours a night ‘reduces risk of heart problems and strokes’

But there are other studies that suggest that yoga and other types of gentle mind-body exercises can help improve sleep among cancer patients: With a group of lymphoma patients, researchers examined the effects on sleep of Tibetan yoga, a form that incorporates breathing, visualization, mindfulness and physical postures. After three months, patients who did yoga reported significant decreases in sleep disturbances, increased sleep duration, and less reliance on sleep medication, compared to a group that did not participate in the yoga regimen. A group of patients with a variety of cancers experienced improvements to sleep and decreases to levels of stress and fatigue after an eight-week program of mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR). MBSR includes meditation practices designed to address both physical and psychological difficulties. A review of research into mind-body therapies for cancer patients found that several forms of mind-body treatment had positive effects on sleep, as well as on pain and fatigue. These latest results provide important additional evidence that yoga and mind-body practices can play a constructive role in treating sleep problems among cancer patients. I am a proponent of yoga and mind-body exercise as a treatment for sleep problems, and as part of a healthy-sleep routine.

Study links heavy text messaging with sleep problems among college students

Related Stories Sleep-texting on the rise? Experts see more patientswho say they cant remember sending that message Exhausted college students should consider their smartphone habits, according to a new study that links heavy texting with sleep problems. Researchers from Washington and Lee University in Virginia discovered that among first-year students, those who sent the most text messages had the poorest sleep habits and lowest levels of emotional well-being. RELATED: VOICE-TO-TEXT JUST AS BAD AS TEXTING WHILE DRIVING I think that were all pretty reliant on our cellphone at this point and students have grown up with it being a very important part of their social lives, study author Karla Murdock, whose report was published in the journal Psychology of Popular Media Culture , told the Daily News. She tried to determine what psychological effect that reliance has on students, by asking more than 80 undergrads how many texts they send and receive on an average day, how well they sleep, and how they feel about their social lives and performance at school.

Researchers found people who sleep for fewer than six hours a night were twice as likely to suffer a heart attack or stroke as those who sleep for between six and eight hours. They also had a two-thirds higher risk of congestive heart failure, where the hearts ability to pump blood around the body weakens with potentially damaging effects on other organs. Snoozing: Researchers found people who sleep for fewer than six hours a night were twice as likely to suffer a heart attack or stroke as those who sleep for between six and eight hours Sleeping for more than eight hours a night was associated with more than double the risk of angina and a 19 per cent higher likelihood of coronary artery disease. The US authors said the study, published online in the journal Clinical Cardiology, was the first to look at sleep duration in relation to five different cardiovascular problems.
