Healthy Lifestyle Rewards - Video
When senior visual arts major Sabrina Sergott was a sophomore in high school, she thought it was normal for her to be as stressed as she was.
She frequently skipped class because she felt anxious and distracted. One day, with the eyes of her entire school on her, Sergott collapsed in the middle of a halftime performance at a basketball game, unable to breathe and terrified that she was having a heart attack.
My mom rushed me to the doctor and it turned out it was just a panic attack, Sergott said. I knew right then I needed to make changes in my life because I was tired of being so scared.
Sergott was diagnosed with ADHD and anxiety. She met with doctors and therapists who gave her the tools to prevent panic attacks, including an anti-anxiety medication. After slowly going off the medication following an allergic reaction, she continued to attend weekly therapy.
Sergotts therapist suggested physical activity as a remedy.
My therapist recommended I find a way to naturally release my anxiety. She told me about a patient she had who would dance in her room when she felt anxious, Sergott said. That inspired me to go to the gym and join local sports like ultimate frisbee and kickball. I even joined the BSU ski club.
Exercise is only one aspect of living a healthy lifestyle, but its impact on the brain makes it a commonly recommended tool. This prescription, paired with support and accommodations, can be an effective solution for managing and improving mental health.
Exercise as medicine
Nate Fauntleroy, a licensed social worker for Boise State Counseling Services, suggests exercise to all of his patients.
I do recommend it to everyone, especially folks who are considering going on medications, Fauntleroy said. Everyones body is different, but Ive always kind of, as a general practice knowledge, told people that if they can get themselves to sweat three times a week on three different days, thatll have the same psychological effect as an introductory dose of an antidepressant or an SSRI (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor).
David Rosenberg, a professor of psychiatry and neuroscience at Wayne State University, cited research in 2018 showing that close to 1 in 5 college students struggles with anxiety or depression. Exercise can help those with anxiety because of the effect it has on the body, according to Fauntleroy.
It forces the minds attention to be on the body, which pulls it away from ruminating or erasing thoughts about the future or the past, Fauntleroy said. Which is why exercise is normally helpful for creating patterns in which were more thoughtful about the way that we feel now and less thoughtful about the things that are coming or the things that have already happened.
Sergott has found that bikram yoga has proved the most beneficial for managing her anxiety. She enjoys the heavy breathing and challenging poses, as well as the mind-clearing meditation.
After I leave the studio, I feel like a stronger, calmer woman, Sergott said. I definitely think exercising has helped me become a less anxious person. Ever since I started working out again, I sleep easier, study and work harder and I make healthier choices when I eat. I also find myself being more sociable.
Like Sergott, it is crucial that students find their remedy before internal tension builds. Dr. Eric Martin, an assistant professor for the Department of Kinesiology, teaches several classes on sport and exercise psychology, which focus on how physical activity influences a range of consequences.
We know that a lot of mental health issues start as more acute things, so things like stress. If we never deal with that stress, it can build until we dont have the capabilities to handle them and they develop more into that mental health issue, Martin said. So if we can use exercise in that way to eliminate stress, we can hopefully move back towards that more healthy aspect on the continuum.
While exercise is among the most common recommendations for those working on their mental health, it is just one piece of the puzzle.
Building support on campus
For those seeking wellness and balance, BroncoFit has worked to develop the all-encompassing Dimensions of Wellness featuring eight key components: emotional, physical, financial, occupational, social, spiritual, intellectual and environmental.
We know we want people to find community and so we offer programs in all types of wellness areas, said Holly Levin, assistant director of BroncoFit. But the main purpose is that were connecting students with things that interest them and with others, and hopefully keeping them well while theyre here.
Because there is no universal definition for physical activity, fulfilling this particular dimension of wellness can be accomplished in many ways.
Sometimes when we think exercise, our mind maybe has a certain picture, Levin said. But really just walking can be a great place to start. I think sometimes people think that walking is not enough but if somebody isnt exercising, walking is a fantastic place to start, especially if you enjoy nature and you can combine your physical activity with being outside.
Five years ago, sophomore pre-business major Morgan Hett was diagnosed with adrenal fatigue, meaning that her adrenal glands were exhausted and not producing enough hormones. According to Hett, adrenal fatigue is usually caused by chronic stress or infection; in her case, it was due to anxiety and a poor diet.
Hett sought treatment from an applied kinesiologist, who suggested a change in diet and to go on walks or runs any time that she feels sluggish. While this may seem like a simple solution, the act of training her body to respond to fatigue with exercise was not an easy task.
It was very difficult for me to find the motivation to go out and work out when I felt exhausted and depressed for most of the day, Hett said. Some days are still harder to motivate myself to go out.
Hett has enlisted the help of her friends and dogs to motivate her on those harder days.
I found if I had someone relying on me, I could be more motivated than if it were just myself, Hett said.
A commonly recommended solution for overcoming those feelings of apprehension is to utilize a support system like Hett has. This could mean getting a gym buddy, joining a team or finding someone who can help make reminders of short or long-term goals.
Having a support system in place, people in your life who encourage you to be active, people in your life who are concerned about your health and your welfare, including your mental health that awareness, or the awareness of a community, of all of the benefits of physical activity helps provide that social support that we all need to stay active, said Dr. Bob Wood of the School of Allied Health Sciences.
Campus Recreation is working to help students find that support system. Rodo Leone, Campus Recreations associate director of programs and student development, strives to make the Rec a diverse and inclusive space.
Roughly a month ago, all group fitness classes at the Rec became free for anyone with a membership. The Rec is also offering fitness classes at Towers Hall, one of the furthest dorms from the center. By training their fitness attendants on inclusion and sociability, the Rec is seeking to make patrons feel more comfortable.
The purpose of having that position is to kind of bring [down]the level of intimidation that this place can cause by having people who are visible and identifiable, Leone said. We are training them to be social and to try to help people without being invasive.
Another way the Rec is aiming to help its student patrons to gain confidence and feel included is by modeling their staff after the student population, such as hiring fitness attendants of many different majors and experience levels.
Of the many ideas Leone has to accommodate the gyms population, some include adding braille and QR codes to exercise machines, turning a fitness
room into a stretching space and creating a feedback form for reporting needs or suggesting improvements.
By alleviating the concerns of intimidating spaces, the Rec is on its way to supporting students in their pursuit of the dimensions of wellness. Whether it is at a gym, on a running trail or even in the comfort of ones own home, having a support system is a key to accomplishing the sometimes daunting task of tackling your mental and physical fitness.
It is very daunting to set out with a goal of I am going to cure my mental health, Hett said. Start small with I am gonna change my outlook on today by working out. Bring a friend so you dont feel as alone and you have someone to keep you motivated. It is always easier with someone but once you get in that routine you can start to rely on yourself and your body will expect it.

Unhealthy eating habits are one of the major reasons why people have become vulnerable to the lifestyle diseases and many other severe illnesses as well. Not just the usual diseases but human beings are now fighting dangerous viruses like the COVID-19 that has been declared a global pandemic. Noted yoga instructor Dr Hansaji Yogendra talks about the importance of saying 'no' to these five food habits to lead a healthy life.
Avoid stale food
Most people prefer cooking and storing food for a few days. However, they do not realize that eating old foods can distress the digestive process. This lowers the immunity power of the body and may lead to vomiting, dysentery, and fever. The nutrients in cooked food are lost after 24 hours. So, the food that has been cooked and stored for days should be strictly avoided.
Instant cooking
Amid hectic schedules and busy lifestyles, most people do not have the time to cook fresh food. So, they often rely on gadgets like the microwave oven to cook or reheat food.
However, the healthy fibres in the food are lost when they are cooked or reheated in microwave. Usually, milk or other liquid foods could be heated in microwave oven as the nutrients in them aren't lost. But it is better to avoid microwave ovens to reheat food items.
Packaged food
Junk food or bakery snacks have now become common items in the daily menu of many people. These packaged foods are loaded with harmful preservatives and other additives. Many people prefer buying such processed or frozen food and reheat them as they do not have the time to cook or are too lazy for it. These packaged or processed foods could cause many serious illnesses.
Processed sugar, salt and all purpose flour
Bread with jam or butter is one of the most popular breakfast items that require just seconds to put together on a plate. However, the all-purpose flour and sugar in these items do not provide the energy that is required for the body to function properly.
These days, wheat bread is becoming popular as the healthy variant of the loaf. However, not many know that these breads contain just 20% wheat in them. The rest is the same old all-purpose flour. The breakfast is the main meal of the day as most of it gets absorbed into the body. The body doesn't receive its essential nutrients if such unhealthy foods are eaten for breakfast. You could replace processed sugar with rock candies if you are someone who loves sweets. Black salt and Himalayan rock salt could be used instead of your regular iodized salt. You could develop a safe and healthy lifestyle by turning to such harmless and healthy ingredients.
Say 'no' to beverages
Alcohol consumption has become a social menace which leads to physical and mental diseases. Addiction to alcohol may lead to depression and poor social relations. Similarly, there are many who gulp down too many teas and coffees in a day. Such beverages need to be consumed in limited amount to maintain general well being.
Just like eating the right foods, it is vital to avoid certain foods to remain healthy and fit. Try to eat only when you are hungry. Some people eat uncontrollably when they are tensed or are under distress. However, in such situations the hormones may not function properly and this may lead to loss of energy. Moreover, this could make you sick as well. So, it is better to have a refreshing glass of lemon juice and relax when you are really upset or disturbed.

Obesity is a well-recognised global epidemic. In the last 30 years, worldwide obesity has doubled. The prevalence of obesity in India is 12 to 31 per cent in various age groups. About 22 to 39 per cent Indian population suffer from osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee. The most significant impact of overweight on bone and joints is associated with degenerative OA of the knee. The treatment of end stage osteoarthritis of knee is surgical total knee replacement (TKR). Good lifestyle incorporating a balanced diet, physical fitness and exercises lowers the risk of obesity and thus the risk of OA of the knee.
In India the risk of OA and need for total knee replacement surgery increases after the age of 50. The increasing life expectancy and increasing prevalence of obesity in our country pose a new health hazard of obese patients requiring knee replacement. Obesity during early adulthood predisposes to OA. Obesity is a leading driver of knee replacement demand and imposes increased risks of surgical complications. Obesity is the greatest modifiable risk factor for OA knee. A body mass index (BMI) of more than 30kg/m2 is 7 times more likely to develop osteoarthritis knee. The relationship of body mass index to osteoarthritis is significantly higher in women than men.
Overweight causes degeneration of joints, especially knee by not only increasing the mechanical loading of the joint but also hormonal dysregulation in the body. OA causes limitation of all aspects of the life through pain and limitation of mobility. It is estimated that the economic burden of osteoarthritis was only second to diabetes in USA, and we are not far away from this situation.
Weight reduction or maintaining healthy lifestyles such as regular exercises, walking, jogging, and sporting activities not only can keep the knee and other joints healthy but can keep the articular cartilage nourished and prevent early degeneration of the joints. Balanced diet can help in maintaining a good metabolism in the body in patients with obesity, diabetes, and cardiac illness which often coexist.
It has been proved in multiple studies that the weight reduction helps in relieving pain and improving function in patients suffering from crippling knee degenerative arthritis. The high impact exercises such as running, jogging, and treadmill are not advisable in patients, once the degeneration in the joints is already set in. The exercises for patients with knee arthritis include muscle strengthening across the knee including the quadriceps strengthening and hamstring strengthening exercises. Joint mobilisation exercises to prevent stiffness and a possible development of deformity, help in relieving the arthritic pain to a great extent.
Once the knee arthritis becomes severe, the various exercises to reduce weight and maintain active lifestyle become a challenge. Hence a good awareness of modifiable risk factors for obesity and arthritis of the knee can help us to lead a happy healthy and pain free life. Avoiding obesity by using good lifestyle, balanced diet, and exrercises not only reduces array of medical disorders (diabetes, increased cholesterol, heart disease, osteoporosis, etc) but also significantly reduces the risk of OA knee, and thus, the need for knee replacement surgery.

Avoid obesity, maintain healthy lifestyle to lower risk of knee replacement - Business Standard
Most of us want to lower our cardiometabolic (CM) risk* in order to live long and healthy lives; that is, we want to have what doctors define as a low risk of developing cardiovascular disease and diabetes.
Little is known so far, but the study we are sharing today offers the beginnings of an answer. A study conducted on a diverse population of adults from Jamaica, South Africa, Ghana, and the United States highlights that the gut microbiota and oral microbiota are related, and that both can be used as predictors of cardiovascular risk.
Overall, the authors show that in this cohort, there was a significant link between cardiometabolic risk and diversity of the gut microbiota. In general less diversity equated to a greater risk. Authors also found that these associations were specific to certain geographical regions, and dependent on the specific CM risk factor** being examined. For example, lower bacterial gut diversity was associated with elevated blood pressure in Ghanaians and South Africans, but associated with elevated fasted blood glucose in Jamaicans.
Gut microbiota and oral microbiota are related, and that both can be used as predictors of cardiovascular risk.
Authors also found that participants with a high cardiometabolic risk have a mild inflammatory state, linked to the presence of a molecule called lipopolysaccharide (LPS), which originates in bacteria and induces inflammation.
Well, the authors suggest that the bacterial intestinal profile of an individual could potentially be both predictive and also serve as a therapeutic target in at-risk individuals. Its also important to remember that greater microbial diversity appears to reduce cardiometabolic risk. Knowing this, many of us may be wondering how to increase the diversity of our gut microbiota. The best way, according to scientists and dietitians, is to live a healthy lifestyle and eat a diet that is rich in fiber.
*Cardiometabolic riskis a condition in which the possibilities of developing atherosclerotic cardiovascular (CV) disease and diabetes mellitus are significantly enhanced.
** Cardiovascular risk factors: significant waist circumference, high blood pressure, high fasting blood sugar, high triglycerides and low high density lipoprotein (HDL).
