| Free bus passes have health benefit, say researchers Posted: 20 Sep 2012 01:45 PM PDT Free bus passes for over-60s may be encouraging older people to be more physically active, say the authors of a study.  |
| Move to less poor neighborhood boosts physical and mental health Posted: 20 Sep 2012 01:44 PM PDT Moving from a high-poverty to lower-poverty neighborhood spurs long-term gains in the physical and mental health of low-income adults, as well as a substantial increase in their happiness, despite not improving economic self-sufficiency, according to a new study.  |
| Fear can be erased from the brain, research shows Posted: 20 Sep 2012 11:11 AM PDT Newly formed emotional memories can be erased from the human brain, according to new research. The findings may represent a breakthrough in research on memory and fear.  |
| Epigenetics: Mother's nutrition -- before pregnancy -- may alter function of her children's genes Posted: 20 Sep 2012 11:01 AM PDT A pregnant mom's diet affects her child's health. Now, new research in mice suggests that what mom ate before pregnancy is also important. The diets of female mice before pregnancy chemically altered their DNA, with these changes passed to their offspring. These alterations affected the pups' metabolism of many essential fatty acids. These results may profoundly impact future research for diabetes, obesity, cancer, and immune disorders.  |
| Nutrient in eggs and meat may influence gene expression from infancy to adulthood Posted: 20 Sep 2012 11:01 AM PDT Consuming greater amounts of choline -- a nutrient found in eggs and meat -- during pregnancy may lower an infant's vulnerability to stress-related illnesses, such as mental health disturbances, and chronic conditions, like hypertension, later in life.  |
| Playground peers can predict adult personalities Posted: 20 Sep 2012 11:01 AM PDT Even on the playground, our friends know us better than we know ourselves. New research has revealed that your childhood peers from grade school may be able to best predict your success as an adult.  |
| Brain study reveals the roots of chocolate temptations Posted: 20 Sep 2012 10:56 AM PDT Researchers have new evidence in rats to explain how it is that chocolate candies can be so completely irresistible. The urge to overeat such deliciously sweet and fatty treats traces to an unexpected part of the brain and its production of a natural, opium-like chemical, according to a new report.  |
| Low calorie cranberry juice lowers blood pressure in healthy adults, study finds Posted: 20 Sep 2012 10:55 AM PDT Regularly drinking low-calorie cranberry juice may help get your blood pressure under control, according to new findings.  |
