Abstract:

Yes<br>Tranquillity trails (TTs) are designed to provide a quiet and peaceful walk through mainly leafy lanes and roads and connect green open spaces where visitors can stop for thought and relaxation. There are numerous health benefits from being in close proximity to nature and TTs can facilitate this contact in mainly urban areas. This study involved the design of a trail in Tramore, a coastal town in south east Ireland. The trail links an old coastguard station, now converted to a cultural centre and coffee shop, with a Japanese garden. The trail includes a coastal path with fine views acr

Abstract:

A polyphenol rich extract derived from the leaves of olive trees (Olea europaea) may be used as a nutritional supplement. This olive leaf extract (OLE) has a high concentration of the secoiridoid, oleuropein and its derivative, hydroxytyrosol (HT). Recent randomised control trials demonstrate hypotensive and anti-hyperglycaemic activity for OLE in human volunteers; the mechanisms for these effects are still uncertain. The high consumption of olive polyphenols may, in part, explain the noted protection against chronic disease associated with the Mediterranean diet. The classical Mediterranean l

Abstract:

Brownfields have an important impact on health. They can influence physical health by increasing risk for health hazards such as the potential for injury hazards, disease transmission, or exposure to chemicals. They can also influence social health determinants like neighborhood level social capital or behavioral risk factors. Reusing brownfields for community gardens reduces environmental hazards and associated health hazards. It further promotes public health, and sustainable quality environment. Community gardens increase nutrition access, especially for many in low income populations, and

Full text

Abstract:

Human aging is associated with structural and functional brain deteriorations and a corresponding cognitive decline. Exergaming (i.e., physically active video-gaming) has been supposed to attenuate age-related brain deteriorations and may even improve cognitive functions in healthy older adults. Effects of exergaming, however, vary largely across studies. Moreover, the underlying neurophysiological mechanisms by which exergaming may affect cognitive and brain function are still poorly understood. Therefore, we systematically reviewed the effects of exergame interventions on cognitive outcomes
