“…Both the decrease in body weight gain and the suppression of DNA damage may be due to the additive action and/or synergistic effects of the antioxidants including dietary fiber, vitamins, lycopene, anthocyanin, polyphenol, potassium, isoflavone, acetic acid, amino acid(s), and lactic acid bacteria, and so on [2,17,18]. It has been shown that mental and physiological stresses induce excess reactive oxygen species (ROS) and worsen lifestyle-related diseases [3,5,6]. The presence of excess ROS can cause cellular damage via oxidation of biomolecules, including DNA, proteins and polyunsaturated fatty acids, causing a variety of diseases such as cancer, Parkinson's disease, and cardiovascular disease [1,2].…”

“…It has been shown that mental and physiological stresses induce excess reactive oxygen species (ROS), worsen lifestyle-related diseases, cause cellular damage via oxidation of biomolecules, including DNA, proteins and polyunsaturated fatty acids, and finally induce a variety of diseases such as cancer, Parkinson's disease, and cardiovascular diseases [1][2][3][4]. In addition, unhealthy lifestyles such as excessive intake of high-fat diet and lack of exercise are prevalent among people today, and they can induce, promote and increase the lifestyle-related diseases [5][6][7][8][9]. The authors have been studying biological antioxidant defense systems induced by a variety of stresses and the antioxidant effects against reactive oxygen species [10][11][12][13][14][15], and are currently interested in the contribution of biological antioxidant defense system and food to the relationship between obesity and stress, investigating the possibility of utilizing beneficial effects of mild stress [7,16].…”

The body weight gain of mice fed an obesity-inducing diet is suppressed by a mild restraint stress, but at the same time, as previously reported, the stress induces DNA damage in the cells of multiple organs. In the present study, we attempted to prevent not only the obesity but also the DNA damage of mice fed an obesity-inducing diet under a mild restraint with commercially available health-food drinks such as fruit and vegetable juices, soymilks, vinegars and lactic acid bacteria drinks, which are rich in antioxidants. The body weight gain of young female mice fed a high-fat diet containing 20% fat for 4 weeks was considerably inhibited by restraint for 15 min per day in weeks 2 to 4 of 4-week period. The inhibition was further promoted with the concomitant administration of health-food drinks noted above, and was accompanied by a decrease of periovular fat, a major abdominal fat in the female mice. The definite loss of energy intake in the mice given health-food drinks was approximately compensated by the energy of the drink administered. On the other hand, the increase of DNA damage generated by restraint in the cells of five organs-the liver, pancreas, spleen, heart and bone marrow-was markedly suppressed with the administration of these drinks. The results suggest that a combination of mild stress and intake of suitable health-food containing some antioxidants may inhibit lifestylerelated diseases including hyperlipidemia and obesity, which may contribute to the inhibition of metabolic syndrome and childhood obesity.

“…The haematological parameters in winter swimmers show strong non pathological modifications [5]. Moreover, other hormones can be found in saliva for assessing stress beyond cortisol [6] [7]. As compared to plasma analysis, easy and not-invasive saliva collection represents a significant advantage to every research that necessarily involves very large number of samples [8] [9].…”

Salivary cortisol role in response to strong stressors implied in extreme exercises and in sport practice was investigated with the aim to verify the claimed benefits that steers winter swimmers to self-prescribe the trials. Specific biochemical data allow to study a variety of stressors in sports and physical exercises, including extreme ones as winter swimming. Salivary cortisol behavior was examined in winter swimmers trials and canoe, canoe-polo competitions and comparisons of results between days with and without performances were reported. Cortisol circadian rhythm in sedentary subjects was collected as control. All the subjects were selected after anamnesticclinical checks to evaluate their physiological conditions. The circadian cortisol behavior was reported in days with competitions and trials as well as between these events. Abrupt cortisol concentration changes were detected at the time of the trials and competitions: surprisingly, large increasing and decreasing concentrations were detected in both groups. Moreover, in winter swimmers, cortisol concentration remained fairly elevated in the evening of the trial days. In days without competitions, the usual cortisol circadian rhythm was recovered in sportsmen whereas cortisol concentrations persisted at high levels up to the evening in winter swimmers. The view that an extreme sport-like exercise as the winter swimming may well pose some treats ranging from subclinical aspects up to dismetabolic pathologies and even cardiovascular risks is strengthened by results of cortisol trends, suggesting to check physiological conditions. Results demonstrate that well-being feeling can be in contrast to the claimed improvements of health.

Latent profile analysis of lifestyle characteristics and health risk behaviors among Koreans who have completed industrial accident care

This study investigated the characteristics and health behavior profiles of 1,803 workers who had experienced industrial accidents. Average weekly exercise days, average number of cigarettes smoked per day, average daily sleep duration, and number of days of alcohol consumption were selected to investigate health behavior profiles. Specifically, latent profile analysis was applied to identify the health behavior profiles of people who had completed industrial accident care; the latent classes were the health-conscious type (n=240), the potential-risk type (n=850), and the high-risk type (n=713). Comparison of the health-conscious and potential-risk types indicated that younger subjects, the employed, and those with lower social status and life satisfaction were more likely to be the potential-risk type. Comparison of the health-conscious and high-risk types revealed that males, younger subjects, the employed, those without chronic illnesses, and those with lower social status and life satisfaction were more likely to be the high-risk type. The results suggest that industrial accident victims who have completed accident care have different health behaviors and it is necessary to improve health promotion based on health type characteristics.
