The effects of exercise' ' :' ' : '..- :
ii:. ;:i,,i...ii.i i.{,t,, i?:+:;,,i r;:-:,:iili i
In addition to a healthy diet, the benefits of
regular physical activity for weight control,
warding off diabetes and improving mood are
well documented. More recently, attention
has been focused on encouraging children
to exercise more regularly.
With childhood obesity rising rapidly,increasing emphasis is being placed on
the benefits of exercise as a way to combatthis condition. Whilst we may not thinkchildren need encouragement to get active,
greater use of portable electronic devicesand more time spent on screen-relatedactivities mean that children are leading a
m0re sedentary life.
A report in 2015 suggested that, on average,
children between five and sixteen years
old spend six and a half hours each day
looking at screens. This figure had more
than doubled compared to results gathered
20 years earlier. Encouraging children away
from screens is an ongoing challenge for
many parents - however a recent studyfrom New Zealand adds another layer to
the argument in favour of ensuring young
children get active regularlY.
Using rats as a model, the grouP of
researchers looked at the effects activitylevels in early life had on the health of the
animals as they got older. Surprisingly,they found that regular exercise early in life
changed the way the rats' bodies handled
high calorie diets, even well into'mid-life'.
When the rats were given a high caloriediet in mid-life, as expected, all the rats
became overweight. However, those that
early lifehad exercised regularly as youngstersstayed healthy and did not show signs of
developing high blood pressure, diabetesor vascular disease - the same conditionsthat are often found in overweight people.
The animals who had exercised lessearlier in their life developed all the typicalproblems. This is fascinating as it is the first
time that such long-term effects of early
exercise have been observed. Not only
were the animals healthier as'children', the
benefits of exercise were maintained right
through into middle-age.
Of course, for humans, keeping an eye on
our weight throughout life is important. The
best way to stay healthy is to eat well and
exercise regularly. This research may go
some way, however, to explaining why some
adults seem relatively healthy despite being
overweight, whilst others quickly developproblems when they gain weight.
Encouraging exercise in the early years is
well known for forming good habits later
in life, making unhealthy weight gain less
likely. This new study suEgests that, even
for those who go on to become overweightin middle age, having exercised regularly
in childhood might help them remain well.
Australian Government recommendationsare that toddlers and pre-schoolers should
be physically active for at least 3 hours
every day, whilst older children shouldaccumulate at least 60 minutes over the
course of a day. lf we achieve this, we may
not only be keeping our children healthy
and avoiding obesity in early life, but also
helping to prevent obesity-related diseases
later in life.

Unfortunately for many, the impact of themodern world and the demands of our dailylives often mean it isn't as easy as all that.Sleep problems and insomnia are affectinga growing number of people. In fact, 1 in 4Australians report having sleep difficulties,with similar results in New Zealand.
The amount of sleep needed by an adultindividual varies, however most should aimfor around seven to eight hours each night.
For many who are struggling to nod off, thereare simple remedies which may help. Gettingsufficient physical exercise, avoiding caffeinein the evening, and ensuring we have some'screen-free'time before bed are all goodways of helping sleep to come sooner.
For something so fundamental to us all, itis perhaps surprising how little scientists
be outside the brainunderstand about sleep. We really don'tknow what triggers it, nor why it is so vital.For people suffering from sleep disorders,or simply trying to catch up on lost hours,this can be frustrating as doctors don't haveeasy solutions.
Many studies have been done searchingthe brain for sleep regulators - nerves orchemicals which either help or hinder usin falling asleep. However, for the first timerecently, a group has discovered that oneof the key regulators of sleep might befound outside the brain. American scientistsfound that by changing the levels of aspecific muscle protein, they could increaseor decrease how much the mice in theirexperiments slept.
Up until now, we have thought that sleepis controlled solely by the brain. However,this new research suggests that perhapswe should be searching more widely forsolutions to assist those troubled bydisturbed sleep.
