also protect the brain before the passage of time and

A team of researchers from Tufts University, United States, found that older people

with the highest concentration of vitamin D in blood

had

On previous evidence, the authors already knew that vitamin D metabolism

passes through the hippocampus and cerebellum

, two brain regions associated with

planning, processing and memory

. Hence, it would suggest that vitamin D was potentially related to brain function.

This latest U.S. was led by Katherine Tucker

, who discussed with his team of researchers to

group of 1000 adults over 65

-and up to 99 years, who have been taking the concentration vitamin D in blood and holding a series of neuropsychological tests to examine cognitive functions.

Thus, the researchers found that individuals who had

an amount "sufficient" for vitamin
had to turn better cognitive function compared to those with a level of "poor" or directly "poor."

Among the areas where these older had better results highlighted the mental flexibility, the complex perceptual and reasoning. Recall that

vitamin D is obtained, further, through moderate exposure to sun

and through fortified foods such as certain dairy products, fish and margarine .

Finally, Tucker said that in his work also concluded that only 35 percent volunteers had reached a sufficient level of this macronutrient, which is likely

be because older adults spend long hours in their homes and do not receive adequate amounts of sun, said the expert. Via

From
Nintendo than what was originally a game console is embracing other functions : new researchers and developers are using this console known to improve health

and

mobility for many patients.

While the Wii can never replace actual physical activity, it must be recognized that can help reduce sedentary

, to keep you entertained and active, both physically and mentally, and in some cases, improve balance and / or mobility. the Sixth Annual Conference Games for Health

(in Boston), where presented new ways in which this kind of games can help doctors and patients

in many cases.

For case today, a team of experts from the School of Nursing at the University of California, San Francisco, in collaboration with Red Hill Games are coming to the Wii

technology to create a game that allows

patients with Parkinson

improve your balance.

It's "

Runner", a game that requires users to stand up and feel to operate a manual car old railway, which is being developed through a grant from the National Institute of Health.

"Most of these patients is 70 or 80 years and really love these games," said Bob about Hone, creative director of Red Hill Studios . "They really want something to treat their sicknesses, and what is different is that these games are specially designed for them," he said.

addition, the company is researching and testing similar technology to help

improve balance and gait in children with cerebral palsy .

"These children often have physical problems, so we have considered that to make games that feel like they are walking and those arriving the goal successfully, "he told the chief creative officer of Red Hill.

But there is more news in the field: this fall, Sony Computer Entertainment America will release the PlayStation Move for PlayStation 3 and Microsoft will present the Kinect for Xbox 360, latest proposals, accurate and latest technology, where the user is also the one who must put their body to control games and that will surely be used as complementary tools in many medical cases.

can indeed affect the health : those with less contact with family, friends and couples had a weaker health

The researchers selected a total of 256 adults between 19 and 85, and analyzed their social network, perception they had about the loneliness, health status and behavior with regard to their social situation.

explicadopor According to Chris Segrin

Overall, experts were able to see how those who felt more alone

were also more likely to get sick

and health problems.

But even more, it was found habits that these people had, in general, less healthy: "We note that these people make fewer visits to the doctor when sick, do not follow their recommendations and your sleep is of lower quality," explained Segrin.

According to scientists, one of the primary responsibility for this relationship is the stress

: with increasing sense of isolation and poor health, also increases the stress of people.

"If people do not have someone to motivate them to share and eat, you can fall into a general negligence," said Juan Carlos Molina, a geriatrician at the Clinical Hospital of the U. of Chile, who added that this can lead to mood disorders, nutrition, risk of fractures and even problems of regulating body temperature, among others.

However, loneliness also alter the expression of our genes

, if you look at data from a 2007 study conducted by the University of California. This research could find a different pattern in the expression of genes of the immune cells of people experiencing chronic loneliness.

That is, it can be conclude that the defense also weaken as a result of loneliness, and that these individuals are more vulnerable to the attack of diseases and have an increased risk of heart disease, infections and cancer. Via
