| Training your brain to prefer healthy foods Posted: 01 Sep 2014 09:34 AM PDT It may be possible to train the brain to prefer healthy low-calorie foods over unhealthy higher-calorie foods, according to new research. |
| Wine only protects against cardiovascular disease in people who exercise, study finds Posted: 31 Aug 2014 09:52 AM PDT Wine only protects against cardiovascular disease (CVD) in people who exercise, according to results from the a study. Evidence suggesting that mild to moderate consumption of wine protects against cardiovascular disease has been accumulating since the early 1990s. In particular, retrospective studies have found that wine increases levels of HDL, the "good" cholesterol. But until now there has been no long-term, prospective, randomised study comparing the effects of red and white wine on HDL cholesterol and other markers of atherosclerosis. |
| Drinking tea reduces non-cardiovascular mortality by 24 percent, study finds Posted: 31 Aug 2014 09:52 AM PDT Drinking tea reduces non-cardiovascular mortality by 24 percent, reveals a study in 131,000 people. "Tea has antioxidants which may provide survival benefits. Tea drinkers also have healthier lifestyles so does tea drinking reflect a particular person profile or is it tea, per se, that improves outcomes -- for me that remains an open question. Pending the answer to that question, I think that you could fairly honestly recommend tea drinking rather than coffee drinking and even rather than not drinking anything at all," one researcher said. |
| Energy drinks can cause heart problems, study suggests Posted: 31 Aug 2014 09:52 AM PDT Energy drinks can cause heart problems according to research. "So-called 'energy drinks' are popular in dance clubs and during physical exercise, with people sometimes consuming a number of drinks one after the other. This situation can lead to a number of adverse conditions including angina, cardiac arrhythmia (irregular heartbeat) and even sudden death," researchers report. |
| Meaningful relationships can help you thrive Posted: 29 Aug 2014 05:42 AM PDT Deep and meaningful relationships play a vital role in overall well-being. A new paper provides an important perspective on thriving through relationships, emphasizes two types of support that relationships provide, and illuminates aspects where further study is necessary. |
| Some women still don’t underststand 'overdiagnosis' risk in breast screening Posted: 29 Aug 2014 05:39 AM PDT A third of women who are given information about the chance of 'overdiagnosis' through the breast screening programs may not fully understand the risks involved, according to research. Overdiagnosis happens because some breast cancers grow so slowly that it would take more than a lifetime for them to threaten a woman's health. For every life that is saved through screening, researchers estimate that around three women will be overdiagnosed with breast cancer. |
| Healthy Moms program helps women who are obese limit weight gain during pregnancy Posted: 28 Aug 2014 10:55 AM PDT Women who are obese can limit their weight gain during pregnancy using conventional weight loss techniques including attending weekly group support meetings, seeking advice about nutrition and diet, and keeping food and exercise journals, a study shows. |
| Posted: 28 Aug 2014 10:52 AM PDT As the school year starts in full swing, many parents wonder if their child should receive the HPV vaccine, which is recommend for girls ages 11-26 and boys 11-21. There are a lot of questions and controversy around this vaccine, but many pediatricians say it comes down to protecting people from a leading cause of death. |
| Warm thanks: Gratitude can win you new friends Posted: 28 Aug 2014 08:08 AM PDT Parents have long told their children to mind their Ps and Qs, and remember to say thank you. Now the evidence is in on why it matters. A study has shown for the first time that thanking a new acquaintance for their help makes them more likely to seek an ongoing social relationship with you. Saying thank you provides a valuable signal that you are someone with whom a high-quality relationship could be formed. |
| No cookie-cutter divorces, so what info should online co-parenting classes offer? Posted: 27 Aug 2014 05:36 PM PDT Online classes for divorcing couples who have children are good at teaching parents how to deal with children's needs and responses to their family's new situation, researchers say. But would co-parenting couples benefit from content that helps adults cope with their own emotions and from unique tracks for families with special circumstances such as intimate partner violence or alcoholism as well? |
