Published Fri, 07 Feb 2025 12:12:05 GMT

(CNN) — Según una nueva investigación, correr puede ser tan eficaz como los antidepresivos para tratar la depresión o la ansiedad. Pero expertos afirman que la solución puede no ser tan sencilla para todas las personas.Dada la prevalencia de la depresión y la ansiedad y sus consecuencias sobre la salud, investigadores de Ámsterdam estudiaron la mejor manera de mitigar estos efectos, y si los antidepresivos o la intervención sobre el estilo de vida tendrían efectos diferentes sobre la salud mental, así como sobre ciertos aspectos de la salud física.La investigación es la primera “que compara los efectos de los antidepresivos con los ejercicios de carrera para la ansiedad, la depresión y la salud en general”, según un comunicado sobre un estudio presentado el 6 de octubre en la conferencia anual del Colegio Europeo de Neuropsicofarmacología.

Published Fri, 07 Feb 2025 12:12:05 GMT

PARIS (AP) — South Africa surprised by choosing Cobus Reinach at scrumhalf ahead of regular Faf de Klerk in the Rugby World Cup quarterfinal against France, pitting him against the repaired Antoine Dupont.Dupont has recovered from a broken right cheekbone just over three weeks ago to be selected on Friday, four days after being allowed to resume full contact training. Reinach will partner Manie Libbok, who retained his place as first-choice flyhalf for the defending champion Springboks despite 2019 World Cup winner Handre Pollard’s call-up to the squad.Pollard, de Klerk and Willie le Roux are the three backs on the bench as South Africa went with a traditional 5-3 split in the reserves.Reinach has scored four tries at the tournament but his job on Sunday may largely revolve around keeping Dupont in check.Dupont sustained the facial fracture against Namibia and the French have their tactical genius back. He is the only change to the side which crushed Italy 60-7 last week and r...

Because that defense ranks dead last in the one category it can’t afford to: turnovers.And the Patriots know it.“Definitely,” Pats safety Jabrill Peppers said Thursday of needing to create more takeaways. “We haven’t gotten enough.”The Patriots defense is responsible for a league-low two turnovers this season: Peppers’ forced fumble in the season opener against Philadelphia and Christian Gonzalez’s interception in Week 2 versus Miami.
