Lifestyle research - exercise, diet, sleep, substances - some recent publications (December)
Last updated on 10th December 2023
I read a fair amount of research and thought some people might be interested in recent studies that I've found helpful. I plan to give details in separate blog posts on Lifestyle, Relationships, Ageing, Positive Psychology, Meditation & Compassion, and Psychedelics. Here are some Lifestyle posts mostly published in the last few weeks. I found it intriguing that in addition to expected benefits for depression & anxiety (see Singh et al below), there is growing evidence that episodes of exercise improve brain functioning within minutes ... and for wide-ranging age groups (see Kekäläinen et al, Legrand et al, Monserrat et al and Polevoy et al below).
