Πρέπει να επαναστατήσουμε με τον εαυτό μας – Αυτή είναι η μόνη επανάσταση που θα μας σώσει

Η ιστορία σαρκάζει την «επιστήμη». Πόσα δεν στήριξαν στη δήθεν επιστήμη, οι επίδοξοι αναμορφωτές του κόσμου; Αλλά και πόσο αμάρτησαν εναντίον της! Αμάρτησαν γιατί δεν τη σεβάστηκαν, αμάρτησαν γιατί τη χρησιμοποίησαν υποτάσσοντάς τη στη σκοπιμότητα, αμάρτησαν γιατί από αληθινή επιστήμη τη μετέτρεψαν σε «επιστήμη», που λύνει τάχα όλα τα προβλήματα και που προπαντός απέδειξε την ανυπαρξία του Θεού.

Slow, steady increase in exercise intensity is best for heart health

For most people, the benefits of aerobic exercise far outweigh the risks, however, extreme endurance exercise — such as participation in marathons and triathlons for people who aren’t accustomed to high-intensity exercise — can raise the risk of sudden cardiac arrest, atrial fibrillation (a heart rhythm disorder) or heart attacks, according to a new Scientific Statement “Exercise-Related Acute Cardiovascular Events and Potential Deleterious Adaptations Following Long-Term Exercise Training: Placing the Risks Into Perspective-An Update from the American Heart Association,” published in the Association’s premier journal Circulation.

Early life experiences biologically and functionally mature the brain

Experiences early in life have an impact on the brain’s biological and functional development, shows a new study by a team of neuroscientists. Its findings, which centered on changes in mice and rats, reveal how learning and memory abilities may vary, depending on the nature of individual experiences in early life.

Aerobic exercise training linked to enhanced brain function

Individuals at risk for Alzheimer’s disease (AD) because of family history or genetic predisposition who engaged in six months of aerobic exercise training improved their brain glucose metabolism and higher-order thinking abilities (e.g., planning and mental flexibility) called executive function; these improvements occurred in conjunction with increased cardiorespiratory fitness. The results of this study are published in a special issue of Brain Plasticity devoted to Exercise and Cognition. Continue reading “Aerobic exercise training linked to enhanced brain function” →
