Exercise and a healthy diet in childhood leads to adults with bigger brains and lower levels of anxiety,according to a new study in mice.
Though diet and exercise are consistently recommended as ways to promote health,this study is the first to examine the longlasting,combined effects of both factors when they are experienced early in life.
The researchers determined that earlylife exercise generally reduced anxious behaviours in adults.It also led to an increase in adult muscle and brain mass.When fed “Western” style diets high in fat and sugar,the mice not only became fatter,but also grew into adults that preferred unhealthy foods.
These findings have recently been published in the journal Physiology and Behavior.To obtain them,the researchers divided the young mice into four groups—those with access to exercise,those without access,those fed a standard,healthy diet and those that ate a Western diet.
Mice started on their diets immediately after weaning(断奶),and continued on them for three weeks,until they reached physical maturity.After an additional eight weeks of “washout”,during which all mice were housed without motion and on the healthy diet,the researchers did behavioral analysis and various measurements.
One of those they measured,leptin,is produced by fat cells.It helps control body weight primarily by lowering the sensation of hunger and also by increasing energy consumption.Earlylife exercise increased adult leptin levels as well as fat mass in adult mice,regardless of the diet they ate.
Previously,the research team found that eating too much fat and sugar as a child can change the microbiome(微生物群) for life,even if they later eat more healthily.Going forward,the team plans to investigate whether fat or sugar is more responsible for the negative effects they measured in Westerndietfed mice.
Together,both studies offer critical opportunities for health interventions in childhood habits.The findings may be relevant for understanding the potential effects of activity reductions and dietary changes associated with fatness.
4.What is unique about the new study?
A.It involves adults' eating behaviour.
B.It shows key elements for a long life.
C.It stresses separate impacts of exercise and diet.
D.It highlights joint effects of early exercise and diet.
5.How did the researchers get the study results?
A.By trial and error.
B.By previous experience.
C.By experimenting on grouped mice.
D.By comparing mice with human beings.
6.What is the main function of leptin?
A.It forms fat cells.
B.It brings down appetite.
C.It stimulates hunger.
D.It limits energy consumption.
7.How does the author look at health interventions in earlylife habits?
A.Favorably. B.Critically.
C.Indifferently. D.Doubtfully.
