| Exercise does a body -- and a mind -- good Posted: 25 Sep 2012 02:14 PM PDT We've heard it time and time again: exercise is good for us. And it's not just good for physical health -- research shows that daily physical activity can also boost our mental health. But what actually explains the association between exercise and mental health? Is the link physiological? Psychological? Both? A new article explores whether certain psychosocial factors may help to explain the benefits of daily physical activity for adolescents' mental health.  |
| News consumption of political stories not enough to retain political knowledge Posted: 25 Sep 2012 11:37 AM PDT Researchers have found that adolescents who spend more time thinking and talking about the news with their peers and relatives tend to know more about political developments in the country.  |

Celebrities who publicly support political candidates may want to think twice about doing so, according to a researcher who has found that those who are most vocal about political, religious, and social causes may pay with decreased popularity and a hit to their wallets.  |
