UB researcher explores link between signals in the brain's reward system and overeating, drug addiction

Why are some people able to stop after eating just a few potato chips, while others aren't satisfied until the bag is nothing but crumbs? The answer may lie in the signals acting in the brain's reward system.

Moderate to vigorous intensity physical activity associated with lower risk of death in older women

Lack of exercise or physical activity is estimated to cause as many deaths each year as smoking. Current guidelines recommend at least 150 minutes a week of moderate intensity physical activity, or 75 minutes a week of vigorous-intensity aerobic physical activity (or a combination of the two), and muscle-strengthening exercises two or more days a week.
