Abstract(s)

Persons diagnosed with mental disease have usually inadequate lifestyle, especially sedentary life, lack of physical exercise, cardiac diseases, diets with sugar, lipids, coffee, and also tobacco or drugs abuse (Citrome & Yeomans, 2005; Chuang et al., 2008; Messias & Rondina, 2007). They have also high risk of mortality (Osborn et al., 2006).
