The Arts Relieve Holiday Stress healthbriefs T
he hustle and bustle of the holiday season can leave us stressed, fa- tigued and even anxious or depressed. But according to studies sponsored by the Norwegian University of Sci- ence and Technology’s Nord-Trøndelag Health Study, there are many art- ful ways to relieve these conditions: Painting, dancing, playing a musical instrument or even attending a theater performance or concert may help us feel better, healthier and more upbeat.
The researchers worked with more than 50,000 participants, using question- naires, interviews, clinical examinations, and blood and urine samples to assemble detailed health profiles. The data was con- trolled for chronic illness, social relations, smoking and alcohol.
What most surprised the research-
ers was that the study findings held true regardless of socioeconomic status; whether a truck driver or bank president, participating in the arts had a
positive effect on the individual’s sense of health and well-being.

University of Toronto reports that consuming two ounces of nuts daily as a replacement for carbohydrates (muffins were used in the study) is effective in glyce- mic and serum lipid control for people with Type 2 diabetes. The researchers concluded that all nuts—whether mixed, unsalted, raw or dry-roasted—offer benefits for control of both blood glucose and blood lipids and could be consumed as part of a strategy to improve diabetes control without weight gain.
