Reading Helps Teens Beat the Blues B


ooks stimulate the mind in more ways than previously known, and may even help reduce the risk of depres- sion in teenagers, according to a new study published in the journal Archives of Pediatric and Adolescent Medicine. University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine researchers re- port adolescents that spend more time reading books are less likely to experience a major depressive disorder than those listening to contemporary music. Participants were called up to 60 times during five extended weekends over two months and asked if their at- tention was currently devoted to television, movies, music, video games, the Internet, magazines, newspapers or books. Teens that spent the most hours listening to music were 8.5 times more likely to be depressed than those that spent the least amount of time absorbed in tunes. In contrast, adoles- cents that read the most (primarily books) were 10 percent as likely to be depressed as those that read the least.

Major depression is thought to affect one in 12 teenagers, according to the U.S. National Institute of Mental Health. Dr. Brian Primack, the assistant professor of medicine and pediatrics who led the study, remarks, “These findings may help clinicians and parents recognize links between media and depression. This is worth em- phasizing because overall in the United States, reading books is decreasing, while nearly all other forms of media use are increasing.”

PEEL-GOOD ENERGY


onsumers do not need to buy over- priced, sugary sports drinks in order to replenish carbohydrates and elec- trolytes during or after exercise, say researchers at the Appalachian State University Human Performance Lab at the North Carolina Research Campus, in Kannapolis. Instead, just grab a ba- nana. The tasty fruit not only offers the same performance boost as sports drinks,


but additional advantages, as well. Bananas provide antioxidants not found in the manmade


beverages, plus a greater nutritional boost, including fiber, potassium and vitamin B6. Bananas also boast a healthier blend of natural sugars than sports drinks.
