Eating baked, broiled fish weekly boosts brain health, study says Posted: 04 Aug 2014 09:33 AM PDT Eating baked or broiled fish once a week is good for the brain, regardless of how much omega-3 fatty acid it contains, according to researchers. The findings add to growing evidence that lifestyle factors contribute to brain health later in life. Scientists estimate that more than 80 million people will have dementia by 2040, which could become a substantial burden to families and drive up health care costs.

Becoming bad through video games: Risk-glorying video games to increases in teens' high-risk behavior Posted: 04 Aug 2014 07:03 AM PDT Previous studies show that violent video games increase adolescent aggressiveness, but new research finds for the first time that teenagers who play mature-rated, risk-glorifying video games are more likely subsequently to engage in a wide range of deviant behaviors beyond aggression, including alcohol use, smoking cigarettes, delinquency and risky sex.

Video-game playing for less than an hour a day is linked with better-adjusted children, study finds Posted: 04 Aug 2014 07:03 AM PDT A new study suggests video game-playing for less than an hour a day is linked with better-adjusted children and teenagers. The research found that young people who indulged in a little video game-playing were associated with being better adjusted than those who had never played or those who were on video games for three hours or more.

Eating resistant starch may help reduce red meat-related colorectal cancer risk Posted: 04 Aug 2014 07:03 AM PDT Consumption of a type of starch that acts like fiber may help reduce colorectal cancer risk associated with a high red meat diet, according to a study. "Red meat and resistant starch have opposite effects on the colorectal cancer-promoting miRNAs, the miR-17-92 cluster," said one researcher. "This finding supports consumption of resistant starch as a means of reducing the risk associated with a high red meat diet."

Eating less meat: Solution to reduce water use? Posted: 04 Aug 2014 07:01 AM PDT Eating less meat would protect water resources in dry areas around the world, researchers have found. Reducing the use of animal products can have a considerable impact on areas suffering scarce water resources, as meat production requires more water than other agricultural products, they say.

Should you add enzyme supplements to your shopping list? Expert explains pros, cons Posted: 04 Aug 2014 06:57 AM PDT Enzyme supplements available without a prescription are becoming increasingly popular, but should everyone add them to their shopping list? The author of a new paper explain the pros and cons of over-the-counter enzymes. "Fortunately, for most over-the-counter enzymes, unless you're taking super-high doses, the risks are pretty minimal," he explains.

Both high physical activity, less sitting in leisure time may be required to substantially reduce risk of obesity Posted: 28 Jul 2014 06:19 PM PDT Both higher levels of physical activity and lower levels of sitting in leisure time may be required to substantially reduce the risk of obesity, researchers report. Physical activity and sitting time (or 'sedentariness') are two common lifestyle-related behaviors associated with obesity and metabolic health, as well as with chronic diseases such as type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease, and with all-cause mortality.
