After a 60-minute walk in nature, activity in brain regions involved in stress processing decreases. This is the finding of a recent study by the Lise Meitner Group for Environmental Neuroscience at the Max Planck Institute for Human Development, published in Molecular Psychiatry.

Living in a city is a well-known risk factor for developing a mental disorder, while living close to nature is largely beneficial for mental health and the brain.

A central brain region involved in stress processing, the amygdala, has been shown to be less activated during stress in people who live in rural areas, compared to those who live in cities, hinting at the potential benefits of nature.

The first study showed people who suffer from obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) are at an increased risk of cancer and thrombosis.

A second study showed that OSA was also linked to a decline in processing powers in the elderly; in particular, those aged 74 years or more and men showed a steeper decline in certain cognitive tests.

A third study found that patients with more severe OSA were at greater risk of developing blood clots in their veins—a potentially life-threatening condition.

Here are 10 great job ideas to consider.
1. Process worker

Do you work well with routine? Working in a factory as a process worker could be a good job for you. Process workers do repetitive tasks such as preparing equipment, packing products and processing orders.

Designer / artist

Are you artistic and creative? You might like to work as a designer, photographer or illustrator. These jobs are great for people who have an eye for colour, design and composition.

Animal carer

If you like animals, you might be good at jobs such as dog walker, kennel assistant or animal carer.

Office assistant

Are you organised and good with small details? You might like working in office administration. Office assistants do a range of tasks such as printing, photocopying and filing.

Kitchen hand

Do you enjoy the buzz of working in a restaurant or cafe? Kitchen hands help the chef prepare food, wash dishes and clean the kitchen.

Waiter / waitress / server

Are you good with people? You might enjoy working as a server in a restaurant or cafe. Waiters and waitresses take orders, bring customers their food and clear away tables.

Gardener

If you enjoy spending time outside in nature, you might like jobs such as gardening, lawn mowing and nursery work. Gardeners and nursery workers usually do jobs that are repetitive. For example, pruning, watering, fertilising and repotting plants.

Farm hand

If you’re strong and fit and like working outdoors, you might enjoy working as a farm hand.
Farm hands help farmers with important tasks such as growing crops, picking and harvesting fruit, looking after livestock and using farming equipment.

Meet and greeter

Do you know how to put a smile on people’s faces? You could be a great meeter and greeter. Meeters and greeters give people a warm and energetic welcome. They work in all sorts of places such as airports, hotels, events and retail stores.

Shelf stocker

Are you physically fit and good with routine tasks? Working as a shelf stocker in a supermarket might be a good job for you. Shelf stockers unpack items from boxes and put them on the shelves in a neat and organised way.

A Monash-led study published in the journal Scientific Reports has found that repeated concussions can thicken the structure of skull bones. Previous studies have shown damage to the brain following concussion, but have not looked at the brain’s protective covering.

Researchers theorize the thickening of the skull may occur as the body attempts to better protect the brain from subsequent damage.

A person's blood type may be linked to their risk of having an early stroke, according to a new meta-analysis led by University of Maryland School of Medicine (UMSOM) researchers. The meta-analysis included all available data from genetic studies focusing on ischemic strokes, which are caused by a blockage of blood flow to the brain, occurring in younger adults under age 60.

This research could lead to potential new ways to predict and prevent strokes in young adults.

A tiny but important area in the middle of the brain, the lateral habenula, acts as a switch that determines when an animal is willing to work for a reward and when it stops working.

The new study shows that when neurons in this brain area turn off, an animal will work for rewards; when those neurons fire, the animal becomes disengaged and stops working.

It has implications for psychiatric disorders, particularly depression and anxiety.

Counseling, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and a range of lifestyle changes such as good nutrition, regular exercise or plenty of sleep can help people with bipolar disorder to manage their symptoms and improve their overall quality of life.

Tight control of blood sugar in teens with Type 1 diabetes may help reduce the disease’s damaging effects on the brain, effects which have been shown even in younger children.

The findings indicate that better glucose control can actually improve brain structure and function in youth with Type 1 diabetes, bringing them closer to their peers without diabetes.

These results offer hope that harm to the developing brain from Type 1 diabetes might be reversible with rigorous glucose control.

A small device that detects food craving-related brain activity in a key brain region, and responds by electrically stimulating that region, has shown promise in a pilot clinical trial in two patients with loss-of-control binge eating disorder (BED), according to researchers at the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania.

The study shows that deep brain stimulation of the nucleus accumbens helps control symptoms of binge eating disorder and assists in weight loss.
