Luz diurna natural abundante para la infancia previene la miopía. Lo que se sospechaba hace años es ya una certeza epidemiológica cada vez más asentada. #luz_natural #circadiano https://theconversation.com/pasar-tiempo-al-aire-libre-protege-a-los-ninos-de-la-miopia-233471
Pasar tiempo al aire libre protege a los niños de la miopía

Si no hacemos nada para evitarlo, en 2050 la mitad de la población será miope. Que los niños pasen más tiempo al aire libre podría revertir la tendencia.

Intermittent Fasting: Potential Bridge of Obesity and Diabetes to Health?

Obesity has been an escalating worldwide health problem for decades, and it is likely a risk factor of prediabetes and diabetes. Correlated with obesity, the number of diabetic patients is also remarkable. A modest weight loss (5–10%) is critical to alleviate the risk of any other metabolic disease. Reduced energy intake has been an essential factor for weight loss reduction. As a new behavior intervention to lose weight, intermittent fasting (IF) attracts considerable attention and has become a popular strategy among young people. IF is a diet pattern that cycles between periods of fasting and eating on a regular schedule, involving various types, mainly Intermittent Energy Restriction and Time-Restricted Fasting. Accumulating evidence shows that short-term IF has a greatly positive effect in animal studies and contributes favorable benefits in human trials as well. Nevertheless, as an emerging, diverse, and relatively premature behavior intervention, there are still limited studies considering patients with obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus. It is also a controversial intervention for the treatment of metabolic disease and cancer. The risks and challenges appear consequently. Additionally, whether intermittent fasting can be applied to long-term clinical treatment, and whether it has side effects during the long-term period or not, demands more large-scale and long-term experiments.
