Have You Thought About This...
“The answer to dealing with stress
and anxiety could just mean spending time at the gym chatting with friends.”
This statement is from a recent
University of Florida Health Podcast. It cites a study that
documents the benefits of socializing while you’re working out. The most
exciting benefit of socializing while exercising appears to be the mental
health benefits. The article goes on to say that, “according to Health
Promotion, those who engaged in vigorous exercise for 20 minutes at least three
days a week were less likely to report poor mental health and perceived
stress.”
This is the essence of the Vital
Life model; ever increasing fun & function in the physical,
emotional, & nutritional dimensions of life! The research is pouring
in as we speak on this subject. The moral of the story is—don’t go at it
alone. Enjoy your friends, enjoy your activities, while you enjoy your
life! Sounds like a formula for success. Let’s move!

High-Resolution Mapping Technique Uncovers Underlying Circuit Architecture of the Brain
June 27, 2013 — The power of the brain lies in its trillions of intercellular connections, called synapses, which together form complex neural "networks." While neuroscientists have long sought to map these complex connections to see how they influence specific brain functions, traditional techniques have yet to provide the desired resolution. Now, by using an innovative brain-tracing technique, scientists at the Gladstone Institutes and the Salk Institute have found a way to untangle these networks. Their findings offer new insight into how specific brain regions connect to each other, while also revealing clues as to what may happen, neuron by neuron, when these connections are disrupted.
