Children who exercise and eat a healthy diet are more likely to become adults who like healthy food and are less anxious. This is according to research on mice from the University of California, Riverside.
Study leader Marcell Cadney says that it's common for doctors to tell people to eat less and exercise more if they're worried about their weight. But this, he says, is why he was surprised that most studies looked at either diet or exercise, and why he and his team wanted to examine both.
The researchers put mice into groups, with some given a healthy diet and others given a "Western" diet that was high in fat and sugar. Some of the mice were also able to exercise on a wheel.
The mice were in these groups from when they were three weeks old until they were six weeks old, which is when mice reach sexual maturity. After this time period, all the mice spent eight weeks eating a healthy diet but not exercising. This way, the researchers could be sure that any differences they found between the two groups were caused when the mice were young.
The study found that the mice that were given a Western diet when they were young were fatter and preferred unhealthy food as adults.
The researchers also found that the mice that exercised when they were young showed less anxious behaviors as adults. These mice had more muscle and larger brains, too.
The researchers say the study shows how important it is to develop healthy habits during early life.

🌏Summary
根據河濱加州大學的研究,會運動且飲食健康的小孩,較有可能成為喜歡健康食物且較不焦慮的成年人。 研究人員將老鼠分組,一部分獲得健康的飲食,另一部分獲得高脂高糖的「西式」飲食。 有些老鼠也會在輪子上運動。該研究發現,年幼時獲得西式飲食的老鼠,成年時比較胖,也比較喜歡不健康的食物。研究人員也發現,年幼時運動的老鼠,在成年之後較少顯示出焦慮的行為。 這些老鼠也有較多肌肉,大腦也比較大。研究人員表示該研究顯示出,在早期階段培養健康的習慣有多重要。
