Optimism could be the key to a longer life. A new study by researchers from the&nbsp;Boston University School of Medicine reveals that those people who view the glass as half full, have a greater chance of reaching 85 years and older. New interventions like meditation and other psychological&nbsp;programs that foster optimism should be encouraged, say experts. People with an optimistic outlook find it easier to control their emotions according to the study and are thus able to control the affects of stress.&nbsp;

The topic of mental health has gained center stage in the last few years and for good reason. People are slowly shedding the stigma around mental problems and getting the help they need. But if you're looking for slightly more interesting paths to good mental health, here are some psychotherapies that should be on your radar.
First up,&nbsp;pet therapy!&nbsp;Dogs or other animals are proven to help reduce anxiety, depression and fatigue. Doctors often use this therapy to help people in long-term care facilities or people with PTSD or dementia. Pet therapy is also used in non-medical settings such as universities and airports to ease anxiety.&nbsp;
The tools of&nbsp;art psychotherapy&nbsp;can be anything from paintbrushes and canvas to clay. Therapists employ art as a medium to express and address emotional issues which may otherwise be too distressing or confusing.&nbsp;The practice boosts brain activity, enhances social skills and fosters self-esteem.
Music therapy&nbsp;is especially helpful for people with a disability, as well as children and adults with developmental and emotional issues. Clinical music therapists work with cancer centres, schools and rehabilitation programmes for alcohol and drug addicts.&nbsp;
Something as simple as journal-ling, also known as journal therapy, which means writing about your experiences, thoughts and feelings may help in getting through a trauma.
Our lives vary greatly from our peers so why should your path to mental health be the same? With so many therapy methods available, you shouldn&rsquo;t hesitate in reaching out and trying a format that suits you.

With&nbsp;fitness studios forced to shut due to the coronavirus pandemic, Gold's Gym is seeking bankruptcy protection as it copes with piling&nbsp;debt payments. The fitness chain has&nbsp;listed close to $100 million&nbsp;in assets and liabilities, according to CNBC. The chain owns over 700 gyms around the world and at least of the&nbsp;30 company-owned gyms in the US will be shuttered due to the Chapter 11 filing. However, the company statement says that franchise-owned outlets will not&nbsp;be affected by the restructuring.&nbsp;

According to a recent survey by the&nbsp;American College of Sports Medicine,&nbsp;using wearable trackers to monitor health will be the top fitness trend for 2020.&nbsp;The annual survey, now in its 14th year,&nbsp;interviewed over 3,000 health and fitness professionals. The survey offered participants 38 trends to choose from, ranging from lifestyle medicine to high-intensity interval training and group training, both of which have remained in the top three for the past three consecutive years. With Apple patenting &ldquo;smart clothes&rdquo; that can measure heart rate, blood sugar&nbsp;and blood pressure through sensors, there seems to be a lot to look forward to.&nbsp;

If your work involves sitting in one place for 9 or more hours without any physical activity, then your work and lifestyle needs change immediately because a new study published in the British Medical Journal suggests that this increases the risk of premature death. Research conducted on more than 36,000 people aged 40 and older suggested that sitting for 9 hours or more, excluding sleep time throughout the day, increased the risk of diseases like diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease and muscle pain, and subsequently, premature death. The WHO guidelines recommend at least 150 minutes of moderate intensity physical activity every week for adults between 18 and 16 years of age.

Your late night latte may not have an impact on the quality of your sleep, reveals a new study by the Harvard Medical School. Researchers analysed the consumption of caffeine, alcohol and nicotine of over 700 people. This was then compared to the participants' sleep data, which showed that while alcohol and nicotine did affect the quality of sleep, caffeine seemed to have no such effect.
