University program boosts health and happiness in adults

This study tested a 4-month program called Ponte en Forma at the University of Vigo, combining supervised exercise sessions with health education on diet, smoking, alcohol, and emotional well-being. 159 adults (students, staff, and community members) either joined the program or continued their usual routine. Researchers measured changes in blood pressure, BMI, heart rate, diet, and psychological well-being to see if the program helped people live healthier and feel better.
