Should I marry him? If you're having doubts, don't ignore them, psychology study suggests Posted: 13 Sep 2012 02:33 PM PDT In the first scientific study to test whether doubts about getting married are more likely to lead to an unhappy marriage and divorce, UCLA psychologists report that when women have doubts before their wedding, those doubts are often a warning sign of trouble if they go ahead with the marriage. The study demonstrates that pre-wedding uncertainty, especially among women, predicts higher divorce rates and less marital satisfaction years later.

Keeping mom and baby together after delivery beneficial Posted: 13 Sep 2012 02:30 PM PDT "Rooming in," keeping mother and her newborn in the same room 24/7 to encourage breastfeeding, does support the practice, at least in the short term, finds a new review in The Cochrane Library.

Exercise may protect against future emotional stress, study shows Posted: 13 Sep 2012 09:36 AM PDT Moderate exercise may help people cope with anxiety and stress for an extended period of time post-workout, according to a study by kinesiology researchers.

Parental divorce linked to stroke in males Posted: 13 Sep 2012 09:35 AM PDT Men with divorced parents are significantly more likely to suffer a stroke than men from intact families, shows a new study.

Women from divorced families did not have a higher risk of stroke than women from intact families.

Good health helps grades when students hit puberty Posted: 13 Sep 2012 07:40 AM PDT Good health helps children with stressful transitions from elementary school to middle school, finds a new study.

Parents prefer some, often less-effective birth control methods for teens Posted: 13 Sep 2012 07:40 AM PDT Parents of teen girls are more ready to accept their daughters being offered birth control pills and condoms during doctor visits than other, more effective and long-acting contraceptive methods, according to a new study.

When prompted, fathers will talk with their kids about delaying sexual activity Posted: 13 Sep 2012 07:40 AM PDT Although mothers are usually the ones who have "the birds and the bees" talks with their children, with targeted prompting and guidance, fathers will also step up to the plate, finds a new study.

Guidelines help family physicians evaluate, manage urinary incontinence for women Posted: 13 Sep 2012 06:19 AM PDT Simple interventions at a primary care visit can alleviate the embarrassment and quality-of-life issues caused by urinary leakage.

People who read food labels stay thinner, study finds Posted: 13 Sep 2012 05:48 AM PDT An international team of scientists has found that reading the labels on food products is linked to obesity prevention, especially in women.

Exercise may affect food motivation Posted: 12 Sep 2012 01:15 PM PDT It is commonly assumed that you can 'work up an appetite' with a vigorous workout. Turns out that theory may not be completely accurate -- at least immediately following exercise. New research shows that 45 minutes of moderate-to-vigorous exercise in the morning actually reduces a person's motivation for food.

Prototype for safer, child-resistant spray bottle developed Posted: 12 Sep 2012 09:51 AM PDT Researchers have developed a prototype for child-resistant spray bottles for household cleaning products. If produced, the prototype would provide an alternative to current, more harmful child-resistant spray bottles while still meeting U.S. Consumer Product Safety commission standards for child resistance.
