Description
Lifestyle refers to the behaviors, interests, beliefs and behavioral orientations of a person, group or culture. Lifestyle behaviors are daily activities that are influenced by a person's knowledge, values and norms along with the cultural and socio-economic factors. These behaviors affect general health as well as body weight of an individual. A wide variety of social characteristics influence these lifestyle behaviors. Adequate physical activity and balanced diet can aid in preventing cardiovascular diseases like type 2 diabetes, coronary heart disease and hypertension. Unhealthy lifestyle behaviors have significant effect on brain health and may possibly damage the neural pathways. An active lifestyle is also beneficial for preserving neurological and cognitive health across the age groups particularly in higher order processes like cognitive inhibition, task switching and working memory. This book aims to shed light on some of the unexplored aspects of lifestyle behaviors and their neural implications. It will serve as a reference to a broad spectrum of readers.
